Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The impact of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers (Mair's House) with regard to outlook, light, and overbearingness

What decided it

The proposal would not adversely affect the living conditions of the neighbouring occupier as a result of outlook, loss of light or overbearingness, particularly given the modest scale increase compared to previously approved schemes and the orientation and fenestration of the neighbouring property.

Framework references: 135

Plan policies cited: Cherwell Local Plan 2011 to 2031 Policy ESD15, Cherwell Local Plan 1996 saved Policy C30

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.
