Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
the effects of the proposal on trees subject to Tree Preservation Orders within and adjacent to the appeal site

What decided it

The proposal's poor design quality and massing on a corner plot, combined with inadequate information about effects on protected trees, resulted in conflict with the development plan and Framework policies.

Framework references: 130, 131

Plan policies cited: Policy QP3 of the Borough Local Plan 2013 to 2033, Policy DES.01 of the Windsor Neighbourhood Plan 2019 to 2034, Policy NR 3 of the Borough Local Plan 2013 to 2033

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.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

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.
