Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the single storey extension to the rear on the character and appearance of existing property and area in general
The effect of the single storey extension to the rear on the living conditions of occupiers of No. 70 Elliott Avenue

What decided it

The proposed single storey extension would have an overbearing and overshadowing effect on the living conditions of occupiers of the adjacent property No. 70 Elliott Avenue, conflicting with local plan policies protecting neighbouring amenities.

Plan policies cited: Policy BE1 of the Hillingdon's A Vision for 2026, Local Plan: Part 1, Strategic Policies (2012), Policy DMHB 11 of the Local Plan: Part 2, Policy DMHB 12 of the Local Plan: Part 2, Policy DMHD 1 of the Local Plan: Part 2

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.
