8 Dawlish Drive, RUISLIP, HA4 9SD

without planning permission, the erection of part two storey, part single storey side and rear extensions and raised patio to rear of dwellinghouse

Authority: London Borough of Hillingdon
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Walker A

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the appeal extensions on the character and appearance on the terrace, streetscene and surrounding area
the effect of the raised patio on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at 6 Dawlish Drive and 10 Dawlish Drive, particularly as regards overlooking
the effect of the rear extension on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupier at No 10 particularly as regards outlook, overshadowing and loss of light

What decided it

The unauthorised extensions caused significant harm to character and appearance and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overlooking and loss of outlook, contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.

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.

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.
