Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the existing occupiers of No 27 and the future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, with particular regard to privacy
the effect of the proposal on parking provision, including electric vehicle charging

What decided it

The proposed development would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area by introducing an independent single-storey detached dwelling that would be discordant with the prevailing pattern of two-storey terraced properties, and would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers due to overlooking from the adjacent property.

Plan policies cited: Policy D1, Policy D2, Policy D3, Policy D5, Policy CT6, Policy CT10

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.
