Authority: Rushcliffe

Procedure: Written
Development: residential
Postcode: NG13 9EQ

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on highway safety with regards to access
The effect of the proposal in terms of flood risk
Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Whatton in the Vale Conservation Area
The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties in terms of noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal fails the sequential test for flood risk and would have an adverse effect on highway safety regarding access, which together outweigh any benefits and compliance with other policies.

Framework references: 115, 174, 212

Plan policies cited: Policy 1 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2, Policy 2 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 1, Policy 17 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2, Policy 11 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 1, Policy 28 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2, Policy 10 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 1

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.
