Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed extensions to the rear upon the living conditions at 54 Milton Road with particular regard to visual impact and light

What decided it

The single-storey side extension would impose itself as a dominant and overbearing presence in the outlook from the neighbouring property's rear-facing window, conflicting with development plan policies protecting residential amenities.

Framework references: 2

Plan policies cited: Policy DM32, Policy DM4, Policy DM29, Policy CS2, Policy CS13, Policy CS15

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.
