Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of conservation areas
the effects of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the settings of two designated conservation areas outweighed the limited public benefits of the proposal.

The harm to character and appearance and to the settings of designated heritage assets, weighed as a matter of considerable importance, outweighed the limited benefits of free Wi-Fi, telephone use, defibrillator and wayfinder provision.

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.
