Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The substantial harm to character and appearance caused by extending built form obtrusively into open countryside significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate positive contribution to housing supply and limited positive benefits of economic activity and biodiversity net gain.

The adverse impacts of the scheme, being substantial harm to character and appearance, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply (moderate positive weight), construction-period economic benefits and occupier contributions (limited positive weight), and biodiversity net gain (limited positive weight), when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole.

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy SP2, Policy SP4, Policy DE1

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.
