Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the development would comply with national and local planning policy which seeks to steer new development away from areas at the highest risk of flooding
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbouring residential properties, with particular regard to nuisance and noise

What decided it

The development's compliance with flood risk policy through exemption from the sequential test and provision of adequate flood resilience measures, combined with the management arrangements detailed in the Servicing and Noise Management Plan which would prevent unacceptable impacts on neighbouring residential properties.

Framework references: 176

Plan policies cited: Policy BSU13, Policy BSU14, Policy DMP1

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.
