Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 45 Morland Road with particular regard to light and outlook
Whether the proposed development would provide adequate fire safety standards

What decided it

The proposal would harm character and appearance, unacceptably affect neighbouring living conditions regarding light and outlook, and fail to demonstrate adequate fire safety standards, with no material considerations justifying departure from the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy SP5, Policy DP11, Policy D3, Policy D4, Policy SP4, Policy DM10, Policy D5, Policy D12

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.
