Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
the living conditions of neighbouring properties, with particular reference to overbearing impact, sunlight, daylight and outlook

What decided it

The proposed extension would be significantly higher than other ancillary buildings in the area and would have an overbearing impact on neighbouring residential properties, obstructing light and outlook in breach of development plan policies.

The conflict with the development plan was not outweighed by any other considerations including the Framework.

Plan policies cited: Policy 10 of the Greater Nottingham Aligned Core Strategies Part 1 2014, Policy DE1 of the Nottingham City Land and Planning Policies Development Plan Document Local Plan Part 2 2020, Policy DE2 of the Nottingham City Land and Planning Policies Development Plan Document Local Plan Part 2 2020

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.
