Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether condition No 6 is necessary and reasonable with regard to local and national policy protecting the openness of the Green Belt

What decided it

The size and openness of the rear garden area, combined with previous extensions exceeding the 30% guidance threshold and the realistic prospect of further substantial development under Class E PDR causing comparable harm to Green Belt openness, justified the necessity and reasonableness of condition No 6.

Framework references: 57, 154

Plan policies cited: Policy N33 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review 2006)

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.
