Inspector: Roberts G

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers

What decided it

The proposed increase in gable height of 0.8 metres would be modest and barely perceptible from the road, appearing proportional to the extended property and consistent with the varied character of the area, while the contemporary design would secure high quality development compliant with design policies.

Framework references: 130, 134, 44

Plan policies cited: Policy S1, Policy S2, Policy WE8, Policy EXM3

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.
