Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether or not the proposal is acceptable in respect of flood risk having regard to national and local policies and guidance
the effect of the proposal upon the setting of designated heritage assets

What decided it

The proposal would not increase surface water flows beyond current levels and would have a neutral effect on heritage assets, meaning it accorded with the development plan as a whole.

the proposal accords with the development plan as a whole and there are no material considerations, including the Framework, indicating a decision should be taken other than in accordance with it, so the appeal succeeds

Framework references: 161, 170, 181, 182, 56, 58

Plan policies cited: Policy S1, Policy PD7, Policy PD8, Policy PD2, Policy HC4, BNP Policy H1

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.
