Inspector: Hartley D

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the development has been carried out in accordance with the approved plans, specifically the approved proposed section plan in terms of height
The effect of the unauthorised development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residential properties in Deer Park Crescent in respect of outlook, privacy and light and whether the unauthorised development constitutes good design

What decided it

The unauthorised development has been constructed significantly higher than the approved plans permit, causing unacceptable harm to the outlook and privacy of neighbouring residents in Deer Park Crescent, which cannot be adequately remedied by the proposed mitigation measures.

Framework references: 131, 135

Plan policies cited: DMG1

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.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.
