Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the host building and upon the special landscape area

What decided it

The proposed extension would not result in disproportionate additions to the original building and would be a limited extension that would not harm Green Belt openness or the character and appearance of the host building and special landscape area.

Framework references: 154

Plan policies cited: Saved Policy N33, Saved Policy GP5, Saved Policy N37, Policy HD3, Policy P10

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.
