Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable for the proposed development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use, and the amount of development

What decided it

The proposal would result in overdevelopment of a narrow plot and fail to respect the established pattern of development and uniformity of the area, causing significant harm to character and appearance that outweighs the modest housing benefits.

The modest benefits of delivering a single small home in a sustainable location were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the compromise to the existing family home

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy Q5, Policy Q7, Policy Q8, Policy Q11, Policy H6

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.
