Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether 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 development upon the character and appearance of the Bubbenhall Conservation Area
The effect of the development upon highway safety
The effect of the development upon living conditions

What decided it

The development qualifies as not-inappropriate development in the Green Belt under paragraph 154(g) of the Framework as redevelopment of previously developed land with no significant impact on openness, and subject to detailed conditions regarding balustrading and parking layout, would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and cause no harm to highway safety or living conditions.

Framework references: 154

Plan policies cited: Policy DS18, Policy DS14, Policy HE1, Policy TR1, Policy TR3, Policy BE3

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.
