Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect the proposed development would have on the character and appearance of the semi-detached pair of bungalows and the surroundings of Cawood Drive

What decided it

The proposed dormer extensions would be poorly designed, disproportionate to the roof, and create an incongruous and unbalanced appearance when viewed alongside the neighbour's existing flat-roof dormer, contrary to the requirement for development to be sympathetic to local character and maintain the area's prevailing character.

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.
