Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on the setting and significance of the Brixton and Trinity Gardens Conservation Areas and the setting and significance of statutory and locally listed buildings
Pedestrian safety and crime and anti-social behaviour

What decided it

The proposal would not introduce undue visual clutter or harm heritage assets due to its position amongst modern street furniture and separation from listed buildings, and would not increase crime risks due to natural surveillance and a comprehensive management plan endorsed by the Metropolitan Police.

Plan policies cited: Policy Q2, Policy Q3, Policy Q5, Policy Q6, Policy Q17, Policy Q20, Policy Q22, Policy T1, Policy T2, Policy T9, Policy T4

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.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

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.
