Inspector: Dring G

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, in terms of the scale, appearance and layout
the effect on existing neighbouring trees with regard to layout
whether sufficient opportunities for landscaping would be provided
whether the proposal would provide a safe and suitable site access
whether sufficient information is provided in relation to electric vehicle charging, ecology, ground conditions and waste receptacles

What decided it

The reserved matters for appearance, landscaping, layout and scale were approved as compliant with local plan policies on design and character, while the electric vehicle charging details were rejected for lack of specificity on implementation.

Plan policies cited: Policy HQ1, Policy EE4, Policy T2, Policy T5, Policy EE2, Policy CC8, Policy WSP 5

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.
