Development: residential · Change of use
Inspector: Brown S

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on living conditions for occupants of the units in terms of available floorspace, access to private outdoor amenity space, facilities for personal storage both external and internal, and for refuse disposal
The effect of the development on residential amenity for occupants of the appeal premises and of nearby dwellings in terms of noise and general disturbance
The effect of the development on provision of purpose-built family housing in the Borough

What decided it

The development causes significant harm to living conditions and residential amenity and makes no contribution to family housing provision, outweighing any other considerations.

Plan policies cited: London Plan Policy 3.5, DMP Policy DMP 1, DMP Policy DMP 18, DMP Policy DMP 19, Core Strategy Policy CP21, DMP Policy DMP17

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.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
