Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Fairfield and Mead Cottage
the effect of the proposed development on the walnut tree, which is subject to a Tree Preservation Order

What decided it

The proposal is substantially the same as the original 2008 permission which was deemed acceptable, and in the absence of any material change in circumstances, consistency in decision-making requires that permission be granted.

Plan policies cited: Policy CP13, Policy DS1, Policy MTRA3, Policy DM15, Policy DM16, Policy DM17, Policy DM24

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.
