Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to living accommodation and shared facilities
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of existing residential properties with reference to potential noise and general disturbance
The effect of the proposed development on the supply of family housing
Whether adequate cycle parking would be provided

What decided it

The proposal would not provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers due to insufficient communal space for dining and socialising, which outweighed other considerations.

Plan policies cited: Policy DM12, Policy DM17, Policy DM35, Policy DM1, Policy H8, Policy SP2, Policy DM10

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.

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.
