Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and wider area
The effects of the proposal upon living conditions, particularly at Nos 3 and 5 Red Rower Close with regard to light

What decided it

The proposal would harm the architectural integrity of the existing building and the wider semi-detached group through its scale and appearance, conflicting with design policies and NPPF objectives for well-designed places.

Plan policies cited: Policy D1: Design of the Cheltenham Plan 2020, Policy SD4: Design Requirements of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewksbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031, Policy SL1: Safe and Sustainable Living, Policy SD14: Health and Environmental Quality

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.
