Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area

What decided it

The proposed dormer would be disproportionate in scale, dominating the roof and harming the character and appearance of the host property and the area, in conflict with development plan policies and the Framework.

Framework references: 48

Plan policies cited: Policy D4 of The London Plan (March 2021), Policy CP3 of the Planning for the Future of Barking and Dagenham Core Strategy (July 2010), Policy BP8 of the Planning for the Future of Barking and Dagenham Borough Wide Development Policies Development Plan Document (March 2011), Policy BP11 of the Planning for the Future of Barking and Dagenham Borough Wide Development Policies Development Plan Document (March 2011), Policy SP2 of the Draft Local Plan 2037, Policy DMD1 of the Draft Local Plan 2037, Policy DMD6 of the Draft Local Plan 2037

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.
