Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether it has been demonstrated that the construction phase for the proposed development would be acceptable with respect to its effect on highway safety

What decided it

The construction phase would result in a significant and unacceptable increase in highway safety risk due to 40 additional HGVs per day on rural roads with pedestrian and equestrian use, without sufficient evidence that recommended mitigation measures could be safely implemented.

Plan policies cited: Policy 19, Policy 20

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.
