Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hanger Hill (Haymill) Estate Conservation Area
The effect of the development on the living conditions of the adjacent occupiers of no. 3 and 7 Heathcroft, with regards to outlook

What decided it

The harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, combined with the adverse effect on neighbours' living conditions through poor outlook, could not be justified by the private benefits claimed and conflicted with the development plan policies.

Framework references: 199, 202

Plan policies cited: Policy 1.1, Policy 1.2, Policy 7.4, Policy 7B, Policy 7C, Policy D3, Policy D4, Policy D6, Policy HC1

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.
