Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the proposals on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
The living conditions of the occupiers of No 167 Adel Lane with particular reference to outlook

What decided it

The habitable outbuilding was physically and functionally severable from the harmful extensions and would not itself harm character and appearance or neighbour amenity, whereas the extensions cumulatively caused unacceptable harm through their bulk, massing and design.

Plan policies cited: Policy P10 of the Core Strategy, Policy GP5 of the Unitary Development Plan, Policy BD6 of the Unitary Development Plan, Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document, Policy HDG2 of the Supplementary Planning Document

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.
