Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether condition 17 restricting permitted development rights (Classes A, B, C and E) is reasonable and necessary having particular regard to the living conditions of neighbours

What decided it

The unusual site configuration where Bury Lodge wraps around two sides of a significantly smaller neighbouring property created a distinct propensity for adverse effects on neighbours' living conditions from permitted development rights, justifying retention of restrictions on Classes A and E but not Classes B and C.

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.
