Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal's location beyond development limits within defined strategic and green gaps, combined with its material adverse effect on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding rural area, which would not be justified by any of the policy exceptions available.

Plan policies cited: HLP Policy LS1, HLP Policy RUR1, HLP Policy RUR2, HLP Policy QP4, HLP Policy NE1, HRNP Policy GEN1, HRNP Policy GEN2, HRNP Policy H4, HRNP Policy H5

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.
