Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the two-storey side extension on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
The effect of the single storey rear extension on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at 42 Auburn Road with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The two-storey side extension would harm the character and appearance of the street by eliminating the characteristic gap between semi-detached pairs, and the rear extension would unacceptably harm the living conditions of neighbours through loss of outlook and overbearing impact.

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.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
