Inspector: Manchester S

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area
The living conditions of the residential occupiers of Heron Chase with particular regard to overlooking, privacy and overbearing

What decided it

The proposed landscaping planting, combined with the existing separation, screening and topography, would ensure that overlooking and overbearing impacts on neighbouring Heron Chase would not be significantly more harmful than the current situation and would not conflict with development plan policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy DM29, Policy DM46, Policy AS02, Policy AS08

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.
