Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the future occupiers of the development and the occupiers of no. 7 Oakfield Gardens
the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area

What decided it

The development would harm both the living conditions of future occupiers and neighbours, and the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, conflicting with the development plan with no other considerations to outweigh this.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3, Policy D4, Policy D6, Policy 7B, Policy LV7.4, SPD4

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.
