Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the host Building of Townscape Merit and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Petersham Conservation Area
the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring property 15 Sandpits Road with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The lack of clarity in the submitted plans regarding the precise extent of the proposed extension prevented the Inspector from assessing its effect on the conservation area and neighbouring living conditions with sufficient certainty.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP1, Policy LP3, Policy LP4, Policy LP8

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.
