Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect on the character and appearance of the area
the living conditions of future occupants of No 26A with reference to the size of living accommodation

What decided it

The loss of the distinctive character of the host building, the reduction in openness at a prominent corner location, and the harmful disruption to the established building line along Richmond Avenue outweighed the consideration of recent similar permissions granted elsewhere on the estate.

Plan policies cited: Policy DMHB 11, Policy DMHD 1, Policy D3, Policy BE1, Policy DMH 6, Policy D6, Policy DMHB 16

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.
