Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding countryside

What decided it

The substantial increase in bulk and unsympathetic design of the extension would overwhelm the original property and be visually obtrusive, causing material harm to the character and appearance of the dwelling and surrounding countryside that could not be outweighed by material considerations.

The material considerations were insufficient to outweigh the harm to character and appearance and the conflict with the development plan.

Framework references: 130, 174

Plan policies cited: Policy DM5, Policy DM15, Policy CS06

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.

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.
