Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the supply of needed housing types
The effect of the development on parking capacity and highway safety
Whether the development provides satisfactory facilities for cycle storage

What decided it

The loss of a three-bedroom family home in an area with identified need for family-sized housing, combined with unresolved parking and highway safety concerns and inadequate cycle storage provision, justified dismissal.

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.
