Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
the living conditions of the occupiers of 29 Shaftesbury Avenue by way of light

What decided it

The unacceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area caused by the awkward angled relationship of the single storey dwelling to the existing corner property.

The limited benefits of housing supply and economic gain from one additional dwelling did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance of the area.

Plan policies cited: Policy 10 of the Erewash Core Strategy (2014), Saved Policy H12 of the Erewash Local 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.
