Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed phasing scheme on the orderly construction of the approved development
The effect of the proposed materials on the appearance of the approved development
Whether the proposed surface water management scheme would accord with the requirements of the approved development
The effect of the proposed landscaping scheme on the character and appearance of the approved development

What decided it

The proposals failed to accord with the Development Plan policies SP09, LP17 and LP24 of the Joint Local Plan and relevant paragraphs of the NPPF, with no other considerations outweighing these conflicts.

Framework references: 96, 135, 136, 140, 187

Plan policies cited: Policy LP24, Policy SP09, Policy LP17

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.
