Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and streetscene
The effect on the living conditions of the occupants of nos 90 and 92 Mount Pleasant Road in respect of outlook and light

What decided it

The proposed extension would harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and streetscene through its incongruous hipped roof profile that would not harmonise with the existing building, contrary to development plan policy.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan 2021, Policy CS8 of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames Local Development Framework Core Strategy (adopted 2012), Policy DM10 of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames Local Development Framework Core Strategy (adopted 2012)

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.
