Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for intended future occupants, with particular reference to outlook and privacy
Whether the proposal would affect the living conditions of existing occupants within Nos 22-24 Connaught Road and Nos 12-14 Nicoll Road with particular regards to privacy

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole due to cumulative harm to character and appearance, inadequate living conditions for future occupants, and unacceptable loss of privacy for existing neighbours.

Plan policies cited: Policy BD1, Policy DMP1, Policy BH4, Policy H2 of the London Plan, Policy D6 of the London Plan, SPD1

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.
