Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed garage on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The garage would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area along Warsash Road, including at the junction, by being unduly conspicuous, eroding openness, and breaching the prevailing pattern of development.

The otherwise acceptable inherent design and appearance of the proposed garage and its relationship to Church Road were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area along Warsash Road and at the junction.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS17 of the Fareham Core Strategy, August 2011, Design Guidance Supplementary Planning Document, December 2015

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.
