Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
Highway safety in Greenbanks Drive with particular reference to parking

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area through the design and proportions of the ground floor extensions and dormer, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this conflict.

Plan policies cited: Policy P10 of the Core Strategy, Policy GP5 of the Unitary Development Plan, Policy BD6 of the Unitary Development Plan, Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document, Policy T2 of the Core Strategy

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.
