Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the change of use of part of the property to use as a separate dwellinghouse on the living conditions of the occupiers of both dwellinghouses
The effect of the subdivision of the outdoor amenity space on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The change of use complied with the development plan policies on living conditions and character and appearance, with the small internal space offset by adequate garden and storage provision, and the subdivision fence being acceptable in environmental terms when viewed in context.

Plan policies cited: saved policy 57 of the North Hertfordshire District Local Plan No. 2 with alterations, April 1996, saved policy 26 of the North Hertfordshire District Local Plan No. 2 with alterations, April 1996, policy D1 of the emerging North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011-2031, policy D3 of the emerging North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011-2031

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

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.
