Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies

What decided it

The proposal satisfies the criteria in paragraph 155 of the Framework as grey belt development and therefore would not be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, which justified a decision other than in accordance with the development plan.

The conflict with development plan policies GE3, GE5 and CS23 was outweighed by the proposal meeting the grey belt criteria in paragraph 155 of the Framework, particularly the absence of a five-year housing land supply and the sustainable location of the site.

Framework references: 154, 155, 143, 110, 115, 216

Plan policies cited: Policy GE1, Policy GE3, Policy GE4, Policy GE5, Policy CS23, Policy BE22

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.
