Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would comply with the limitations and conditions applicable to development permitted under Class AA of Schedule 2, Part 20 of the GPDO, namely the age of the building
Whether the proposed development would comply with the limitations and conditions applicable to development permitted under Class AA of Schedule 2, Part 20 of the GPDO, namely the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the proposed development would comply with the limitations and conditions applicable to development permitted under Class AA of Schedule 2, Part 20 of the GPDO, namely the effect of the development on the living condition of the adjacent residential premises, by virtue of overlooking and loss of light

What decided it

The harmful effect on the external appearance of the building caused by the loss of the pitched roof, flat-roofed design and external materials, which would not accord with the Framework's requirement for upward extensions to be consistent with prevailing height and form and well-designed.

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.
