Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the locality and the Canons Park Conservation Area (CPCA)

What decided it

The limited public benefits of additional on-site parking fail to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Canons Park Conservation Area caused by the introduction of prominent hard surfacing in the front garden.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Canons Park Conservation Area was weighed against the limited public benefits of additional on-site parking, with great weight given to conservation; the harm was not outweighed by the benefits.

Framework references: 12, 16

Plan policies cited: Policy HC1, Policy D3, Policy CS1.B, Policy CS1.D, Policy DM7, Policy DM1.A, Policy DM23.A, Policy DM23.C

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.
