Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would conserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Northwood Town Centre – Green Lane Conservation Area and the setting of the listed Northwood War Memorial
The effect of the proposal on the free flow of pedestrians and vitality of the town centre

What decided it

The modest public benefits of the communications hub would not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed war memorial, combined with the adverse effect on pedestrian flow and community use of the town centre.

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.
