Postcode: DN10 4LJ

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development would be at risk of flooding and, where relevant, whether the sequential test has been met
the effect of the proposal on the significance of the former Walkeringham Methodist Chapel, a Non-Designated Heritage Asset, through development within its setting
the effect of the proposal on archaeological remains within the site
whether the proposal makes suitable provision for features which support priority or threatened species

What decided it

The proposal would be at high risk of surface water flooding with the sequential test unmet, and would cause considerable harm to the significance of the Non-Designated Heritage Asset through inappropriate materials in its setting, with benefits not outweighing these harms.

Framework references: 11, 173, 175, 187

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.
