Authority: London Borough of Redbridge
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: community-institutional · Other minor developments
Inspector: Marshall E

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The need for the proposal and the impact of the proposal upon neighbouring residential amenity
The impact of the extension upon the character of the property and surrounding area
The impact of the extension upon the amenity of existing and future occupants
The standard of accommodation for prospective occupants

What decided it

The scale, bulk and massing of the two-storey extension extending full width and beyond the depth of the original outrigger would be out of character with the area and cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring amenity through loss of outlook and increased enclosure.

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: LP Policy LP4, LP Policy LP26

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.
