Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be suitably located, having regard to access to local services and facilities as well as relevant development plan policies
The effect of the proposed development on the character of the historic landscape

What decided it

The proposal's location in unsustainable countryside outside settlement limits combined with its unacceptable adverse effect on the character of the valued historic landscape means the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.

The adverse impacts of unsustainable location and harm to the historic landscape significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of self-build housing delivery, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply and the proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole.

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.
