the Installation of air conditioning units & associated acoustic enclosure (resubmission with overheating assessment added). Summary

Authority: London Borough of Camden
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Moss J

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area, and whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Holly Lodge Conservation Area
The effect of the development on climate change

What decided it

The development causes unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the Holly Lodge Conservation Area, fails to comply with climate change mitigation policies, and no material considerations of sufficient weight justify departure from the development plan.

Framework references: 205, 206, 208

Plan policies cited: Policy D1 (Design), Policy D2 (Heritage), Policy CC1 (Climate change mitigation), Policy CC2 (Adapting to climate change), Policy DH2 (Development Proposals in Highgate's Conservation Areas), Policy SI4 (Managing heat risk), Policy SI2 (Minimising greenhouse gas emissions)

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.
