Authority: London Borough of Hounslow
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Change of use
Inspector: Wood T

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site is in a suitably accessible location for the proposal
Whether the proposal is of a suitable size for the proposal and would provide sufficient external space for its occupiers
Whether the proposal would have an unacceptable effect on the character and residential amenity of the area
Whether the proposal would give rise to an unacceptable increase in on-street parking

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds, particularly the unsuitability of the location, inadequate internal space standards, and unacceptable impact on neighbouring residential amenity, with no material considerations sufficient to outweigh these conflicts.

Plan policies cited: Policy SC10, Policy SC5, Policy EC2

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.
