Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area
the living conditions of the occupants of 464 Tong Road, with particular regard to outlook and light

What decided it

The unsympathetic roof form and overall design of the extension, which fails to reflect the proportions and architectural details of the original building and conflicts with the development plan design requirements.

Framework references: 134

Plan policies cited: Policy BD6, Policy GP5, Policy P10

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.
