Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the locally listed host property and surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Roxborough Park and the Grove Conservation Area

What decided it

The development, being located away from the main road and frontage in a secluded position with extensive tree coverage, does not unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the locally listed property or conservation area, and preserves the character and appearance of the Roxborough Park and the Grove Conservation Area.

Framework references: 199, 203

Plan policies cited: Policy D3, Policy HC1, Policy CS1.B, Policy DM1 A, Policy DM1 B, Policy DM7

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.
