Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the streetscene
The effect of the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 3 Laurel Road with regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposal would have an unacceptable impact on the character and appearance of the streetscene and would harm the amenity of the neighbouring property through loss of outlook, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.

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.
