Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The impact of the proposal upon the appearance of the existing dwelling and surrounding area

What decided it

The combination of roof forms created by the side extension, first floor rear extension, and their interaction with the full-length dormer presents as awkward, top-heavy, and uncharacteristic of the surrounding area, contrary to SPD2 guidance and NPPF paragraph 130.

Framework references: 130

Plan policies cited: Residential Extensions and Alterations 2018 (SPD2)

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.
