Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, bearing in mind that it would be within the setting of the Hedon Conservation Area
whether the proposal would be in a suitable location having regard to flood risk

What decided it

The proposal fails both the character and appearance test due to harmful intrusion into a key open area and heritage setting, and the flood risk sequential test due to inadequate evidence of site availability assessment, with the limited public benefits of affordable housing insufficient to overcome these substantial development plan conflicts.

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy A1, Policy S4, Policy ENV1, Policy ENV2, Policy ENV3, Policy H2, Policy ENV6

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.
