the erection of two infill dwellings

Authority: Winchester City Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Rogers J

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the location of the proposed development would be suitable, having regard to development plan policies concerning the location of development and subsequently the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
whether the proposed development would be likely to have a significant effect on the integrity of the Solent's designated SPAs and SACs

What decided it

The securing of nitrate offsetting through the Deed of Allocation and package treatment plant, combined with the site's location within a continuously developed road frontage suitable for infill development under Policy MTRA3, allowed the appeal to proceed.

Plan policies cited: Policy MTRA3, Policy MTRA4, Policy DM23, Policy CP16, Policy CP11, Policy CP21

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.
