Authority: London Borough of Islington

Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Bowyer J

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the special interest of the Grade II listed building 'numbers 126-152 (even) and attached railings'
the effect of the proposal on the character and the appearance of the Barnsbury Conservation Area
the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 136 Hemingford Road in respect of outlook and whether or not it would be overbearing

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the special interest of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh this harm, and would also adversely affect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.

Plan policies cited: Policy D4, Policy HC1, Policy PLAN1, Policy DH1, Policy DH2

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.
