Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
the effect of the proposed development on protected species
whether the proposed development would be safe from flooding

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three independent grounds—character and appearance harm, inadequate protected species assessment, and unresolved flood risk—with no material considerations outweighing these conflicts.

Plan policies cited: Policy PP27, Policy PP33, Policy PP38, Policy SAND1, Policy SAND2, Policy SAND3, Policy SAND4, Policy SAND5

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.
