Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effects of the proposals on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area
whether the proposals are satisfactory in respect of flood risk
whether the proposals make satisfactory provision for affordable housing
the effects of the proposals on highway safety
the effects of the proposals on ecology
the effect of the Appeal A proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 40 Warren Road, with regard to light and outlook
whether the Appeal A proposal is satisfactory in respect of fire safety

What decided it

The cumulative harm to character and appearance, unresolved flood risk concerns, failure to provide affordable housing contributions, and for Appeal B unacceptable highway safety risks, collectively outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.

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.
