35, Outram Road, East Ham, London, E6 1JP

a single storey rear extension (retrospective)

Authority: London Borough of Newham
Appeal type: householder · Householder (HAS)
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Greenwood L

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the house and the local area
living conditions at the neighbouring properties, in terms of the effect on outlook and any overlooking or perception of overlooking
the potential for future development at adjacent properties in light of the existence of side windows in the new extension

What decided it

The low height and limited visibility of the extension, combined with the obscure glazing of side windows, mean it does not significantly harm character, appearance or neighbours' living conditions, and does not prejudice adjacent development.

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.
