a loft conversion to include front and rear dormers and side rooflights

Authority: London Borough of Croydon
Appeal type: householder · Householder (HAS)
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Greenwood L

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect on the character and appearance of the house and the local area
Whether the proposal would be for inappropriate development in the Green Belt and if so, the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
The effect on living conditions at neighbouring properties

What decided it

The proposed rear dormer window would create unacceptable overlooking of the neighbouring property at 16 Philand Lane, substantially reducing privacy and conflicting with development plan policies protecting amenity.

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.
