Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings, having regard to privacy
The effects of the proposal on the living conditions of the future occupiers of the new dwelling, having regard to the provision of private outdoor space and outlook
The effects of the proposal on the integrity of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (TBHSPA)

What decided it

The proposal would adversely affect the living conditions of both neighbouring and future residents through privacy and outlook concerns, and would harm the integrity of the Thames Basin Heaths SPA without adequate mitigation measures.

Plan policies cited: Policy EE1, Policy EE10

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.
