Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the existing building, surrounding area and the Hanwell Clocktower Conservation Area

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area and non-designated heritage asset caused by the incongruous massing and top-heavy appearance of the extension outweighs the modest benefits of providing additional residential units.

The moderate benefits of the proposal, including improved residential space and family-sized units, do not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area and non-designated heritage asset, to which great weight is attached.

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.

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.
