21 Northumberland Crescent, FELTHAM, TW14 9SY

the erection of a first floor rear extension and the conversion of the existing two storey side extension into a separate one-bedroom dwelling with parking

Authority: London Borough of Hounslow
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Savage K

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The suitability of the existing dwelling for conversion
Whether the proposal would provide a suitable standard of accommodation for prospective occupants
The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the proposed rear extension on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants
The adequacy of proposed parking and cycle parking and the effects of these on highway and pedestrian safety
The adequacy of proposed waste and recycling storage
Whether the proposal would be acceptable in terms of addressing biodiversity net gain requirements

What decided it

The proposal would fail to provide an adequate standard of accommodation for prospective occupants, combined with unacceptable risks to highway and pedestrian safety and harm to character and appearance, resulting in conflict with the development plan taken as a whole.

Plan policies cited: Policy SC6, Policy SC5, Policy D6, Policy CC1, Policy CC2, Policy T5, Policy T4, Policy EC2, Policy EQ7, Policy G6, Policy G7, Policy BG7

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.
