Authority: London Borough of Lambeth
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: other · Householder developments
Inspector: Douglas L

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the windows and door on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the door on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The front elevation windows are conspicuous and unattractive with uncharacteristic thick plastic frames that harm the distinctive character of the timber-sash-windowed terrace, and the rear door provides unacceptable overlooking into neighbouring gardens causing harm to residential privacy.

Plan policies cited: Policy Q2, Policy Q5, Policy Q8, Policy Q11

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.
