Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Uley Valley Conservation Area and the natural beauty of the Cotswolds National Landscape
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 3 Garns Close, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
the effect of the proposed development on ecology

What decided it

The collective harm to the character and appearance of the Uley Valley Conservation Area from the catslide dormers and side extensions, to which considerable weight must be attached, outweighed any other considerations.

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.
