Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve the character or appearance of the Central Conservation Area, the effect upon the registered park and garden and whether or not it would preserve the special interest of the Listed Building of 20 Fonnereau Road
Whether or not the living conditions of adjacent occupants by way of overlooking and loss of privacy

What decided it

The installation of two protruding metal privacy screens to the roof balconies would detrimentally alter the roof profile and cause less than substantial harm to the heritage assets without any identified public benefits to justify the harm.

Framework references: 212, 213, 215

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.
