Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
the living conditions of the occupiers of 108 to 114 Winding Way in respect of daylight, sunlight and outlook

What decided it

The proposal would appear as an uncharacteristic and incongruous addition to the streetscene due to its tapered angular form and shallow pitched hipped roof design, conflicting with the cohesive gabled roof character of Lake Close and local design policies.

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.
