Inspector: Evans L

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed new access on on-street parking provision
The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular reference to outdoor amenity space
Whether the proposal would make an appropriate contribution to affordable housing provision

What decided it

The material harm to existing residents' living conditions through exacerbation of parking stress in the local area outweighs the modest benefits of providing one additional dwelling.

The adverse impacts of parking harm significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of one additional residential unit, and the proposal would not be a sustainable form of development for which there is a presumption in favour

Framework references: 11, 135

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.
