Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to privacy, outlook and noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal would have a significantly harmful effect on the character and appearance of the residential estate through its incongruous design and disruption of the symmetry between neighbouring dwellings.

Plan policies cited: Policy 2 (Promoting good design) of the Joint Core Strategy for Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk, Policy DM3.4 (Residential extensions, conversions within settlements), Policy DM3.8 (Design principles applying to all development), Policy DM3.13 (Amenity, noise and quality of life)

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.
