Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the development upon the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
The character and appearance of the appeal site and the surrounding area, including the setting of the Redington Frognal Conservation Area
Biodiversity

What decided it

The outbuilding causes a harmful degree of intrusion through overlooking and an overbearing visual impact on neighbouring properties' living conditions that cannot be adequately mitigated and outweighs any other considerations.

Plan policies cited: CLP Policy A1, CLP Policy A4, RFNP Policy SD4, RFNP Policy SD5, CLP Policy D1, CLP Policy D2, CLP Policy A3

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.
