Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
The living conditions of existing occupiers of No 456 and 460 Hurst Road with particular regard to outlook, privacy and noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposed development would unacceptably harm both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations sufficient to outweigh this harm.

Framework references: 135

Plan policies cited: Policy DP11 of the Bexley Local Plan 2023, Policy D4 of the London Plan 2021

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.
