Inspector: Cryan M

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
Living conditions for occupiers of the neighbouring property at No 5 Wykeham Road, with particular regard to outlook, and whether it would be harmfully overbearing
Living conditions for residents of Hendon Park Mansions, with particular regard to whether it would lead to unacceptable overshadowing of the communal rear garden

What decided it

The proposed development is substantially smaller and less impactful than a previously dismissed scheme, with no unacceptable harm to character, appearance, or living conditions when assessed against the development plan policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy CDH01, Policy CDH02, Policy ECC01, Policy TRC01

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.
