Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants at 1 Bohemia Road, with regard to outlook and dominance
The appearance of the area, with regards to the proposed bin store

What decided it

The daylight and sunlight study demonstrating no significant loss of light to the neighbouring property, combined with the oblique angle of views and comparable building heights along the street, meant the development would not cause material harm to neighbouring living conditions or the appearance of the area.

The development accords with the development plan when taken as a whole, with no material considerations indicating otherwise.

Framework references: 56

Plan policies cited: Policy DM3, Policy DM1

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.
