Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed first floor extension on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed extension, despite exceeding the SPD width guidance, would remain a sympathetic addition that does not over-dominate the original dwelling or erode the existing built form due to its setback positioning, matching materials, and limited public visibility.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP1, Policy LP8, Policy LP28, Policy LP46, Policy D12

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.
