Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: employment-industrial · Minor general industry/storage/warehousing
Inspector: Hawkins S
Postcode: TW2 7AU

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
The effect on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residential property, having regard to outlook

What decided it

The containers' utilitarian appearance, height exceeding boundary treatments, and light green colour finish caused significant and unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding suburban residential area, conflicting with the Development Plan with no material considerations to outweigh this harm.

Plan policies cited: Policy 28, Policy 46

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.
