Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the first floor part of the proposed side extension on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the area

What decided it

The first floor side extension, being subservient in siting and dimensions with design in keeping with the host building, would not adversely affect the character or appearance of the appeal property or area and would comply with local plan policies requiring high quality design that makes a positive contribution to the urban environment.

Framework references: 56

Plan policies cited: Core Strategy Policy CS2, Core Strategy Policy CS15, Development Management Policy DM4, Development Management Policy DM29

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.
