Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The living conditions of Nos. 9 and 13 Cotsford Avenue, with particular regard to access to light and enclosure
Highway safety and the promotion of sustainable transport
Existing trees on the site

What decided it

The proposed development would fail to reinforce the positive qualities of local character and appearance, cause unacceptable detriment to neighbouring living conditions through overbearingness and loss of outlook, and would not promote sustainable transport in accordance with development plan policies.

Framework references: 54

Plan policies cited: Policy DM10, Policy DM9, Policy DM8, Policy D3, Policy G7

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.
