Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for residential development, with particular regard to the spatial strategy of the development plan and the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of existing and future occupiers, with particular regard to levels of noise and disturbance and privacy
whether the proposal would provide safe and suitable access for all users

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to neighbouring living conditions through noise and disturbance from the shared access arrangement, combined with conflict with development plan policies on character and appearance and highway safety.

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy ST1, Policy ST2, Policy ST33, Policy ST53, Policy 46, BNP Policy 1, BNP Policy 2, BNP Policy 3

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.
