a “proposed outbuilding to be used as a nursery D1”

Authority: London Borough of Havering
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: community-institutional · Other minor developments
Inspector: Naylor R

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

effects of the proposed development on character and appearance of the rear area
effects of the proposed development on living conditions of local residents having particular regard to matters of noise and disturbance
effects of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to on-street parking

What decided it

The cumulative harm to character and appearance, living conditions through noise and disturbance, and highway safety through inadequate parking provision, none of which could be adequately mitigated, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and could not be approved.

Framework references: 126

Plan policies cited: HLP Policy 16, HLP Policy 26, HLP Policy 7, HLP Policy 17, HLP Policy 24

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.
