Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular reference to privacy

What decided it

The development harms the living conditions of neighbouring residents through significant intrusive visibility and privacy loss, which conflicts with development plan policies and outweighs the limited private benefit to the flat occupiers.

The significant harm to neighbouring residents' privacy and living conditions, together with conflict with development plan policies, outweighed the limited private benefit to the flat occupiers from the external amenity space.

Plan policies cited: WCP Policy 7, WCP Policy 38, WCP Policy 40

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.
