Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the patio on the living conditions of neighbouring residents at No 19 Nab Wood Drive, having particular regard to overlooking
The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents at No 23 Nab Wood Drive, having particular regard to outlook and overlooking

What decided it

The patio causes unacceptable harm to neighbouring privacy through overlooking at No 19, conflicting with Policy DS5 and the Framework, whereas the wall causes no such harm and complies with development plan policy.

Plan policies cited: Policy DS5 of the Bradford District Core Strategy 2017

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.
