Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
The effect of the proposed two-storey side extension on the living conditions of existing occupiers of 35 Stocks Lane with particular regard to privacy
The effect of the proposed development on highway safety with particular regard to parking

What decided it

The proposed development fails to provide sufficient on-site parking provision and causes unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area through its design, form and materials.

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.

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.
