‘Without planning permission, the retention of a two storey extension’

Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Willows P

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the conservation area
Its effect on living conditions at the neighbouring No 6 Lake House Road, with particular regard to any loss of light and whether the extension is overbearing/harmful to the outlook of the neighbouring property

What decided it

The development significantly harms living conditions at the neighbouring property through its overbearing effect and impact on outlook, which outweighs any other considerations and conflicts with the development plan.

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.

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.
