Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the development is a suitable location in the countryside, including its effect on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the proposal on flooding
The effect of the proposal on ecology

What decided it

The substation, roadway and waterfall are essential infrastructure or features for the established fishery business and do not harm character and appearance; the folly provides essential bat habitat supporting biodiversity net gain; but the hardstanding introduces unacceptable built form harmful to the countryside character and is not essential, and the bridge is not essential for site management.

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.
