Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the area

What decided it

The extension's excessive bulk and mass, combined with its minimal set-down at ridge level and projection well beyond the rear, would overwhelm the original building and appear dominant rather than subservient, thereby harming the character and appearance of the property and streetscene in conflict with local design policy.

Plan policies cited: Policy BE2 of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan (2021), SPD Principle DES56, SPD Principle DES58, SPD Principle DES59, SPD Principle DES60, SPD Principle DES62

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.
