the demolition of garage and erection of new garage/outbuilding and two storey extension to dwelling without complying with a condition attached to planning permission Ref 08/02427F, dated 17 December 2008

Authority: King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council
Appeal type: householder · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Pearce S

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development proposed, having regard to the development plan, reliance on the private car and the accessibility of services and facilities
whether the flood risks associated with the proposed development have been adequately addressed

What decided it

The appeal site's unsustainable location in a remote countryside area with poor accessibility to services and facilities, combined with inadequately addressed flood risks for a new independent dwelling, conflicts with the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.

Framework references: 173

Plan policies cited: CS01, CS06, DM1, DM21

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.
