Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the proposal on sustainable travel choices with regard to parking

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with adopted planning policy on both character and appearance and sustainable travel choices, and these policy conflicts are not outweighed by the applicant's personal circumstances or the minor scale of the development.

Plan policies cited: Policy Q14, Policy Q5, Policy Q15, Policy T1, Policy T6, London Plan Policy T1, London Plan Policy T2, London Plan Policy T6

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.
