Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene
the living conditions of the occupiers of 20 Penn Road with regard to outlook
flood risk with particular regard to the absence of flood mitigation measures

What decided it

The proposal fails to comply with the development plan on three independent grounds: significant harm to character and appearance, harm to neighbouring outlook, and absence of flood risk mitigation measures in a Flood Zone 3 location.

Framework references: 176

Plan policies cited: Policy QP3, Policy NR1, Principle 10.1, Principle 10.3, Principle 8.2, Paragraphs 8.5-8.6

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.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
