Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect on the character and appearance of the host property and the area, generally
The effect on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring residential properties with particular reference to overshadowing, overbearing and outlook

What decided it

The extension's harmful effect on character and appearance through poor design and disproportionate scale, combined with limited but material overbearing impact on neighbouring amenity, outweighed any justification based on health needs or fallback permitted development rights.

Plan policies cited: Policy DS1, Policy DS3, Policy DS5, Design Principle 1, Design Principle 3

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.
