Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed residences would provide a satisfactory living environment having regard to the effects of noise and noise mitigation measures
The provision of affordable housing and contributions to mitigate the effects of the proposal on facilities

What decided it

The unacceptable external and internal noise effects from the M6 motorway on future occupants' living conditions outweighed the benefits of the scheme.

The benefits of housing delivery, sustainability, economic activity and biodiversity enhancement were of insufficient weight to outweigh the very significant weight attached to the noise harm, so the appeal was dismissed

Framework references: 11, 58, 124, 135, 187, 198

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.
