Inspector: Reed D

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
whether sufficient car parking would be provided
whether the proposal is acceptable in relation to flood risk

What decided it

The proposal's location on a brownfield site in the most sustainable location in the district (King's Lynn town centre) and its compliance with the development plan's reliance on windfall housing and flood-zone allocations, combined with acceptable mitigation of all identified concerns, justified allowing the appeal.

the redevelopment of an unattractive brownfield site with two dwellings adding to the housing stock near the town centre, with wider sustainability benefits, outweighed the flood risk

Plan policies cited: Policy LP18, Policy LP21, Policy LP14, Policy LP25

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.
