Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
the housing mix in the area
the living conditions of existing residents with particular regard to outlook, light, noise and disturbance, parking provision and litter

What decided it

The proposed development, being a new build rather than a change of use and designed to reflect the existing terraced character with reduced scale compared to the previously refused scheme, would not result in material harm to character, housing mix or neighbouring living conditions.

Plan policies cited: Policy H5 UDP, Policy HD18 UDP, Policy H7 emerging LP, Policy H11 emerging LP, Policy H13 emerging LP, Policy T6 UDP

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.
