Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular reference to the impact of HGVs on the highway network
the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular reference to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The modest scale of the appeal proposal, combined with evidence that overall traffic would reduce despite increased HGV movements, and that highway authorities raised no objections, meant there would be no severe cumulative impact on highway safety or material adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions.

Framework references: 116

Plan policies cited: Policy GEN1, Policy GEN2, Policy GEN4

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.
