Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 8 Wooldale Drive, with particular reference to outlook and light
Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for the occupiers of 1 Wooldale Close, with particular reference to the provision of private amenity space

What decided it

The unacceptable effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers regarding outlook and light, combined with the poor standard of living accommodation for the proposed occupiers due to insufficient private amenity space, outweighed any benefits of the development.

Framework references: 135

Plan policies cited: Policy H14 of the Sheffield Unitary Development Plan (1998)

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.
