Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the existing residents of 14 and 16 Old Cross Tree Way and the occupants of dwellings facing the appeal site along Pilgrims View
Whether or not adequate arrangements have been made as part of the proposal to ensure that the proposed development does not have a significant effect on the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area

What decided it

The proposal would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring residents, and adequate mitigation for Thames Basin Heaths impacts had not been secured.

Plan policies cited: Policy D1, Policy D4, Policy D8, Policy D5, Policy P6, Policy P5

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.
