Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
The living conditions of the occupiers of No 22 and 23 Hyacinth Drive with particular reference to outlook

What decided it

The proposal would result in a harmful effect on character and appearance and an unacceptably harmful effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly through an imposing massing on the common boundary, conflicting with development plan policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy BE1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part One - Strategic Policies (2012), Policy DMHB11 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two - Development Management Policies (2020), Policy DMHD1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two - Development Management Policies (2020)

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.
