Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
whether the proposed development would provide a sufficient private garden space in the interests of the living conditions of existing occupiers

What decided it

The two-storey side extension would fill the existing break between the property and its neighbour, appearing as part of the original property rather than a subservient addition, thereby failing to respect the established streetscape rhythm of gaps between terraces and causing detrimental impact on character and appearance.

Plan policies cited: DMHB11, DMHB12, DMHBD1, DMHB18, DMHD1

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.
