Development: residential
Postcode: SL6 2PF

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
The effect of the proposal on Green Belt openness
The effect of the proposal on the setting of the adjoining Grade II listed building, Old Lodge Farm
Whether or not any harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal fails to satisfy the exception in Framework paragraph 154(c) for extensions that do not result in disproportionate additions, as the cumulative effect of the proposed extensions and roofs would be disproportionate to the original dwelling, and no very special circumstances exist to justify the resulting inappropriate development in the Green Belt.

Framework references: 154, 153

Plan policies cited: Policy QP5

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.

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.
