Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The subservient design and positioning of the extension, combined with the existing mixed character of the area, meant the proposal would not have a harmful effect on character and appearance.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS19 of the Rutland Core Strategy 2011, Policy SP15 of the Rutland Site Allocations and Policies Development Plan Document 2014, Rutland Supplementary Planning Document Extensions to Dwellings 2015

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.
