Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area
The living conditions of the occupiers of 150 and 152 Audley Road with particular regard to outlook, light and privacy

What decided it

The proposed dormer would harm the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area by dominating the rear elevation and introducing an alien feature to the uniform roofscape, conflicting with Policies C15, DM20 and DM23.

Plan policies cited: Policy C15 of the Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan for Gateshead and Newcastle Upon Tyne 2015, DAP Policy DM20, DAP Policy DM23

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.
