Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is an appropriate location for residential development having regard to the development strategy for the area
The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area including the North Wessex Downs National Landscape
Flood risk
The effect of the proposal upon the River Kennett Site of Special Scientific Interest

What decided it

The site's location outside the settlement boundary in countryside, combined with significant harm to the character and appearance of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape and unresolved flood risk concerns, made the development contrary to the development plan and Framework.

Framework references: 189, 170

Plan policies cited: Core Policy 1, Core Policy 2, Core Policy 14, Core Policy 50, Core Policy 51, Core Policy 57, Core Policy 67

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.
