Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of nearby residents, having particular regard to outlook and privacy

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of nearby residents, particularly the imposing and dominating outlook created by the proposed dwelling's height, bulk and proximity to the shared boundary, which significantly and demonstrably outweighs the housing supply and other benefits of the scheme.

The significant social harm arising from unacceptable impact on neighbouring residents' living conditions substantially and demonstrably outweighs the environmental and economic benefits and the weight deriving from the provision of an additional dwelling.

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.

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.
