Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether prior approval should be granted under Class AA of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO having regard to the effect of the proposal on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
Whether prior approval should be granted under Class AA of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO having regard to the effect of the proposal on the amenity of adjoining premises in relation to light and outlook

What decided it

The proposal failed to comply with the prior approval requirements under Class AA of the GPDO in relation to both external appearance and amenity of adjoining premises, and the GPDO offers no discretion where such conflicts are found.

Plan policies cited: Policy PP27 of the Poole Local Plan (adopted 2018)

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.
