prior approval- part 20, Class AB: New dwellinghouses on terraced buildings in mixed use

Authority: London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Hartley D

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development is acceptable in respect of all conditions detailed in paragraph AB.2(1)(a) to (j) of Class AB of Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO, and in particular AB.2(e)(i)(aa) and (bb) which relates to the external appearance of the building including the design and architectural features of the principal elevation and any side elevation that fronts a highway

What decided it

The proposed development would cause significant harm to the external appearance of the building by appearing as a high, dominant, bulky and incongruous addition that would visually compete with the MFMM building and materially detract from the consistency and balance of the wider terrace.

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.
