Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether future occupiers of the proposed development would experience acceptable living conditions, with specific reference to external communal space
Whether adequate waste facilities for the existing and future occupiers of Whitelocke House are provided within the proposed development

What decided it

The provision of a financial contribution towards Lampton Park improvements via unilateral undertaking, combined with the site's proximity to existing public green space and the constrained nature of the site, justified a flexible approach to external communal space requirements and made the development acceptable in planning terms.

Framework references: 122

Plan policies cited: Policy SC5, Policy D6, Policy EQ7

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.

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.
