107 London Road, Loughton, MILTON KEYNES, MK5 8AG

the demolition of the existing bungalow and its replacement with a 1.5 storey house

Authority: Milton Keynes Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Cryan M

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
Living conditions for occupiers of the neighbouring dwelling at 105 London Road, with particular regard to whether or not it would be overbearing and loss of sunlight and daylight
The supply of single-storey housing

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three grounds—character and appearance, living conditions, and loss of single-storey housing—and the benefits put forward do not outweigh the identified harms.

The harms to character and appearance, living conditions, and loss of single-storey housing were not outweighed by the benefits of the scheme, and the proposal conflicted with the development plan taken as a whole.

Plan policies cited: Policy D1, Policy D2, Policy D3, Policy D5, Policy HN9

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.
