Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed detached garage on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the proposed detached garage on living conditions for occupiers of the proposed main dwelling No 57A

What decided it

The existing pattern of front-sited garages and outbuildings along Aldenham Avenue, combined with the street's acknowledged lack of character consistency, meant the proposed modest garage would not be an incongruous or intrusive feature and would not cause unacceptable harm to the area's character or future occupiers' living conditions.

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.
