Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect the development would have on the character of the area
the effect the development would have on the living conditions of occupiers of surrounding dwellings, with particular reference to any noise and disturbance that might occur
whether or not the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers

What decided it

The development, properly understood as a residential annexe rather than a separate dwelling, would not harm the character of the area or anyone's living conditions and would accord with the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy DBE10, Policy DM 10, Policy DM 9, Policy DBE9

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.
