Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable for development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development

What decided it

The Council cannot demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing land, the proposal would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits assessed against the Framework as a whole, and the site is grey belt land where the proposal is not inappropriate development.

The benefits of housing supply in a sustainable location and support to the local economy, combined with the absence of a five-year housing land supply and the Framework's approach to grey belt development, outweighed the conflict with Policy S6 of the development plan

Framework references: 143, 156, 157, 232

Plan policies cited: Policy GEN1, Policy GEN2, Policy H10, Policy S6

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.
