Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the locality

What decided it

The appeal site could accommodate 2 well-designed dwellings without harm to character and appearance, and the contribution to housing supply in an area where the Council cannot demonstrate a 5-year supply outweighed any other considerations.

The modest contribution of 2 dwellings to the Council's housing land supply, together with associated economic and social benefits, outweighed the absence of any identified harm to character and appearance or other adverse impacts, representing sustainable development for which paragraph 11 of the Framework indicates a presumption in favour

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy CS6, Policy MD2

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.
