Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the single storey extension and the two ground installed air conditioning units on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
the effect of the two ground installed air conditioning units on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular reference to noise

What decided it

The rear extension and air conditioning units do not cause demonstrable harm to character and appearance or neighbouring living conditions, and therefore planning permission should be granted on ground (a) of the enforcement appeal.

Framework references: 57

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.

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.
