Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers in relation to the provision of amenity space

What decided it

The loss of the amenity space fronting the site, which makes a positive contribution to the open character and appearance of the area, combined with the inadequate private garden provision for future occupiers, resulted in harm that was not outweighed by other material considerations.

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.
