Inn on the Green, Chapel Street, New Buckenham, Norwich, Norfolk, NR16 2BB

for the conversion of existing dwelling to three dwellings

Authority: Breckland Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Walker C

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the integrity of the Habitat sites
whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers both internally and externally, with particular regard to noise, light, odour and privacy
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the wider area, including the New Buckenham Conservation Area

What decided it

The development would likely have a significant effect on the integrity of designated Habitat sites (Breckland SPA, Breckland SAC, Broads SAC, Broads SPA, North Norfolk Coast SAC and North Norfolk Coast SPA) through additional recreational disturbance, and adequate mitigation could not be demonstrated to be secured.

Plan policies cited: Policy ENV 02, Policy COM 01, Policy COM 03, Policy GEN 02, Policy HOU 10

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.
