the erection of a storage building for B8 use

Authority: Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: employment-industrial · Other minor developments
Inspector: Wraight G

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be an acceptable form of development with particular regard to the provisions of local policies in respect of the location of development
The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the proposal on flood risk

What decided it

The proposal fails to accord with the development plan on three independent grounds—countryside location policy, character and appearance harm, and failure of the flood risk sequential test—and the limited benefits do not outweigh these conflicts.

Framework references: 85

Plan policies cited: Policy 25, Policy 41, Policy 46, Policy 48, Policy 57

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.
