Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of Kelvedon Mews and whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the nearby East Canonbury Conservation Area (the CA), a designated heritage asset
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers within 10 Warley House (No 10), with particular reference to outlook
whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for existing and future occupiers of the appeal site (No 1) with particular regard to private amenity space

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan by causing unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of Kelvedon Mews and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers regarding outlook, with no material considerations indicating a decision otherwise than in accordance with the development plan.

Framework references: 11

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.
