Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use, and the amount of development

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11d)ii, and the modest housing and economic benefits of the proposal were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of granting permission.

The modest benefits of housing supply, economic benefits from construction and occupation, and the availability of public transport and short distances to services outweighed the conflict with development plan policies directing development hierarchically and avoiding new homes in the countryside, when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: LP Policy 1, LP Policy 2, LP Policy 3, LP Policy 7, LP Policy 12, LP Policy 21, LP Policy 23, Policy C1 of the Climate Emergency Development Plan Document 2023, NDP Policy S2, NDP Policy S3

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.
