Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development, with reference to the effect of the proposal on the significance of i) a heritage asset of archaeological interest and ii) a non-designated heritage asset.

What decided it

The unresolved archaeological significance of the site combined with the loss of a non-designated heritage asset (the existing dwelling) outweighed the housing and economic benefits of the scheme.

the moderate weight given to housing delivery and economic/social benefits did not outweigh the considerable weight attached to the unresolved archaeological harm and the loss of the non-designated heritage asset, so the proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
