Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and any development plan policies, including any relevant effects on the openness of the Green Belt
the effect of the proposals upon the visual amenity of the area
the effects of the proposals on public safety
the effect of the proposals upon biodiversity

What decided it

The proposed advertisement would be detrimental to visual amenity by appearing incongruously beyond the established commercial envelope and would compromise highway safety through driver distraction near a signalised junction.

Framework references: 154, 143

Plan policies cited: Policy GB1, Policy H14, Policy D1, Policy D2, Policy DP2, Policy D13, Policy H4, Policy G12, Policy H17

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.
