Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of surrounding properties, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
whether the scheme would provide suitable provision for cycle parking
the effect of the development on biodiversity

What decided it

The significant adverse effects on character and appearance from the rear, combined with unacceptable impacts on neighbouring living conditions regarding outlook, privacy and overbearing impact, and failure to provide suitable cycle parking in accordance with adopted standards, collectively demonstrate conflict with the development plan that cannot be outweighed.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS22, Policy CS41, Policy 4.5, Policy CS18, Policy CS30, Policy 6.8

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.
