Authority: Coventry City Council
Appeal type: major · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Major dwellings
Inspector: Hitchcock R

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the locality
the living conditions of the residents of 71 Jobs Lane, with particular regard to overlooking and loss of privacy, and prospective residents of the development in relation to on-site outdoor amenity space
highway safety and parking
local infrastructure

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the locality through poor design quality that conflicts with Policies DE1 and H3 of the development plan, and there are no material considerations to outweigh this conflict.

Framework references: 57

Plan policies cited: Policy DE1, Policy GE4, Policy H3, Policy AC3, Policy IM1

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.
