Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the living conditions for neighbouring occupiers on Haverstock Hill and Glenloch Road, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Belsize Conservation Area

What decided it

The development fails to provide acceptable living conditions for neighbouring occupiers due to unacceptable noise levels from the refrigeration plant operating 24/7, and causes less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Belsize Conservation Area through its incongruous design.

Framework references: 135, 205, 206, 208

Plan policies cited: Policy A1, Policy A4, Policy D1, Policy D2

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.
