Authority: Brighton and Hove City Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Bayliss G

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the significance of heritage assets, including a Grade II* listed building (Appeal A and B)
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of adjoining occupants with particular regard to daylight and sunlight (Appeal A)

What decided it

The substantial set back of the proposed extension behind the bow frontage and screening effect of the parapet and balustrade meant the glass frontage would be largely hidden from public view and cause no harmful effect on heritage significance or living conditions of neighbours.

Framework references: 202

Plan policies cited: Policy CP15, Policy DM26, Policy DM27, Policy DM28, Policy DM20

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.
