Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area

What decided it

The front and rear dormer windows and the two-storey gabled rear extension would dominate the roof slopes and appear incongruous and harmful to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, contrary to development plan policies requiring appropriate scale, form and appearance.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS14 of the Mole Valley Local Development Framework Core Strategy (October 2009), Policy ENV22 of the Mole Valley Local Plan (October 2000), Policy ENV32 of the Mole Valley Local Plan (October 2000), Policy AS-H5 of the Ashtead Neighbourhood Forum Neighbourhood Development Plan 2015-2026, Policy AS-En3 of the Ashtead Neighbourhood Forum Neighbourhood Development Plan 2015-2026

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.
