Authority: Kirklees Metropolitan Council
Appeal type: householder · Householder (HAS)
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Dean S

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling
The living conditions of the occupiers of 5 Primrose Lane with specific regard to privacy and overlooking
Whether the proposal would provide sufficient and suitably accessible off-street parking

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three grounds—harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling, harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of privacy and overlooking, and failure to provide suitably accessible parking—with no material considerations indicating a decision other than in accordance with the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP24, Policy LP1, Policy LP22

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.
