1 Robin Hood Way, LONDON, SW15 3PW

Erection of new detached 3 bedroom house with installation of solar panels

Authority: Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Murray D

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the area including the future well-being of existing trees
The effect on highway safety though increased pressure on on-street parking
Whether the proposed dwelling would afford reasonable living conditions for the future occupiers

What decided it

The cumulative adverse effects on character and appearance, protected trees, and living conditions standards mean the proposal conflicts with the development plan and does not constitute sustainable development, outweighing the benefits of development in a sustainable location.

Plan policies cited: Core Strategy Policy CS8, Policy DM10, Policy G7 of the London Plan 2021, London Plan Policy D6

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.
