Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, and whether it would preserve the character and setting of locally listed buildings at Nos 7 and 9 Morland Road

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the host building and undermine the architectural integrity of the locally listed buildings, in conflict with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this harm.

The proposal conflicts with the development plan; there are no considerations of sufficient materiality to indicate that a decision should be taken other than in accordance with the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy D1, Policy D4, Policy SP4, Policy DM10, Policy DM18

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.
