Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable for a new dwelling, bearing in mind the settlement policies of the development plan
Whether there are other considerations which justify the proposal, having regard to its effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The material consideration of the fallback position (extant Class Q permission) combined with the proposed dwelling's superior design and character impact compared to the fallback scheme justified allowing the appeal despite conflict with settlement policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy 2, Policy 3, Policy 7, Policy 12, Policy 23, Policy 14 of the Mabe Neighbourhood Development Plan 2022-2030, Policy 18 of the Mabe Neighbourhood Development Plan 2022-2030

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.
