without planning permission the material change of use of the land to the rear of the main dwelling to use for separate residential purposes

Authority: London Borough of Ealing
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Change of use
Inspector: Hawkins S

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether suitable living conditions are provided for occupiers of the separate residential use, having regard to internal floorspace, outlook, privacy and private outdoor amenity space
The effect on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residential property, having regard to noise and disturbance as well as privacy
The effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The separate residential use fails to provide suitable living conditions for its occupiers and causes unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions and the character and appearance of the surrounding area, all in conflict with the Development Plan.

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.
