Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Highgate Conservation Area

What decided it

The incongruous modern design and materials of the UPVC windows fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Highgate Conservation Area, and the public benefits do not outweigh this harm.

Plan policies cited: HC1 of The London Plan 2021, DM1 of the Haringey Development Management DPD 2017, DM9 of the Haringey Development Management DPD 2017, DM12 of the Haringey Development Management DPD 2017, SP11 of the Haringey Local Plan Strategic Policies 2016, SP12 of the Haringey Local Plan Strategic Policies 2016, DH2 of the Highgate Neighbourhood Plan 2017

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.
