Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the provision of family sized-homes in the area
whether or not the proposed development provides suitable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of indoor living space
whether or not the proposed development makes suitable provision for vehicle parking, cycle parking and refuse storage having regard to the front forecourt layout

What decided it

The proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers and make suitable provision for parking and refuse storage, with no unacceptable effect on family-sized housing provision, and therefore accords with the development plan.

Framework references: 63, 11

Plan policies cited: Policy LP5, Policy LP2, Policy LP26, Policy LP6, Policy LP4, Policy H9, Policy H8, Policy H12, Policy H1

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.
