Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the achievement and maintenance of balanced communities, including the supply of family-sized dwellings
The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal would result in the loss of a family-sized dwelling by converting a three-bedroom end terrace house to two 1-bed self-contained flats, conflicting with Policy DMH4 which seeks to maintain the supply of family-sized dwellings.

Plan policies cited: Policy DMH4, Policy BE1, Policy DMHB11, Policy DMHB12, Policy DMHD1, Policy D4

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.
