Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development is inappropriate development within the Green Belt
The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
The effect upon the Special Landscape Area
The effect upon heritage assets
Whether, if the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, the harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances

What decided it

The significantly harmful effect upon the character and appearance of the terrace and the minor adverse impact upon the Special Landscape Area outweighed the finding that the development was not inappropriate in Green Belt terms.

The absence of inappropriateness in Green Belt terms was outweighed by the adverse effects on character and appearance of the terrace and the Special Landscape Area.

Framework references: GB6, GB7, DP3, HE5

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.
