Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
The effect of the appeal proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with respect to outlook
The effect of the appeal proposal on the living conditions of its future occupiers and the occupiers of the host dwelling

What decided it

The increased height and pitched roof would result in a building markedly different in scale and appearance to surrounding outbuildings, dominating the corner approach and causing significant harm to the character of the area and the outlook of neighbouring occupiers at 68 Mount Pleasant Road.

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.
