Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of Flat 2, with particular regard to overshadowing

What decided it

The significant harm to the living conditions of occupants of Flat 2 through overshadowing, combined with harm to character and appearance, outweighs the limited housing supply benefits in the planning balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.

The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and significant harm to living conditions of neighbouring occupants significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of a single dwelling contribution to housing supply and associated social and economic benefits.

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy D DM1, Policy D DM4

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.
