Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ruislip Village Conservation Area.

What decided it

The site and design-specific circumstances, including the rear location of the most significant changes and their screening by larger neighbouring properties, meant the proposal would preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area despite technical breaches of policy.

Plan policies cited: LP2 policy DMHD1(E), LP2 policies DMHB1, LP2 policies DMHB4, LP2 policies DMHB11, LP2 policies DMHB12, LP2 policies DMHD1, LP1 policies BE1, LP1 policies HE1

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.
