Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed dormers on the character and appearance of the existing building and area, with particular reference to the impact on the significance of a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The scale, design and location of the proposed dormers and removal of the chimney would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the building and surrounding area, contrary to development plan policies and the Framework.

Framework references: 194

Plan policies cited: Policy P10, Policy P11, Policy P12, Policy BD6, Policy HDG1, Householder Design Guide (2012), Moortown Neighbourhood Design Statement (2016)

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.
