Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether planning permission should be granted for the erection of a two-storey detached dwellinghouse with mansard roof, parapet walls, external lift overrun and central dome, having regard to the effect on character and appearance of the host property, streetscene and the Copse Wood Estate Area of Special Local Character

What decided it

The mansard roof design and external features are proportional to and comparable with other recently approved developments in the Copse Wood Estate ASLC, and the scheme preserves the significance of this non-designated heritage asset whilst meeting high design standards.

Framework references: 216

Plan policies cited: BE1, HE1, DMHB 5, DMHB 6, DMHB 11, DMHB 12, D4, HC1

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.
