Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area including the setting of nearby listed buildings
The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regards to outlook and daylight

What decided it

The appeal site's physical and visual separation from the listed buildings by the rear service drive and boundary features, combined with the limited intervisibility and the extension's neutral effect on their setting, allowed the development to proceed without heritage harm.

Framework references: 215

Plan policies cited: Policy ST1, Policy DM10, Policy DM18, Policy ENV4, Policy DM27, Policy DS6PU, Policy H14PU, Policy BE1PU, Policy BE2PU

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.
