proposed demolition of existing rear extension and construction of 1 bedroom house

Authority: Waltham Forest London Borough Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Livingstone C

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development of the host property and character and appearance of the area including the likely long term effect on adjacent street trees
whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants with regard to waste storage and collection
the effect of the proposal on the safe and efficient operation of the local highway network with regard to parking provision
the effect of the proposal on the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

What decided it

The failure to secure planning obligations for car-free parking restrictions and the Epping Forest SAC mitigation measures, combined with unresolved concerns about potential harm to street trees, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan as a whole.

Framework references: 57

Plan policies cited: Policy 56, Policy 93, Policy 66, Policy 94, Policy H2

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.
