Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed outbuilding on the character and appearance of the appeal site and the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposed basement on the surrounding area with respect to land stability, flooding and drainage
  • The effect of the proposed outbuilding on trees

What decided it

The absence of sufficient evidence, particularly a proper Basement Impact Assessment and sustainable urban drainage scheme, to demonstrate that the basement would not have materially harmful effects on land stability, flooding, drainage and trees meant the appeal could not be allowed.
