Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the host property and its surroundings

What decided it

The subservient design of the extension, with its roof set down and front wall recessed behind the main building, ensures it would not materially harm the character and appearance of the host property or its surroundings.

Plan policies cited: Policy NBE9 of the Hart Local Plan (Strategy and Sites) 2032, Policy GEN1 of the Hart Local Plan (Replacement) 1996-2006, Policy 10 of the Fleet Neighbourhood Plan

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.
