Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property at No. 67 Worple Way with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The substantial bulk and scale of the proposed rear dormer extension would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the area, which outweighed the benefits of additional accommodation.

The benefits of high quality design and additional accommodation were given some weight but were insufficient to outweigh the harm to character and appearance identified.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3.D(1), Policy D3.D(11), Policy D3.D(7), Core Policy CS1.B, Policy DM1

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.
