Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed roof changes on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the street scene

What decided it

The proposed roof changes would make the building stand out unacceptably in the street scene and reduce the quality of period detailing, conflicting with development plan policies and the NPPF with no material considerations to justify permission.

Plan policies cited: Policy QP3 of the Borough Local Plan 2022, Policy DAT2 of the Datchet Neighbourhood Plan 2023

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.
