Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposal having regard to the development plan and national strategy
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with respect to noise

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate that no suitable redevelopment sites or redundant rural buildings were available, or that the agricultural business specifically and measurably benefited from the countryside location, contrary to SPP Policy DM53.

Plan policies cited: SPP Policy DM53, SPP Policy DM10, SPP Policy DM32, CS Policy CS12

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.
