Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Barnes Green Conservation Area, and on the host dwelling, which is identified as a Building of Townscape Merit.

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the Barnes Green Conservation Area and the Building of Townscape Merit through its cluttered, embellished appearance, conflicting with development plan policies and the Framework, with public benefits insufficient to justify the identified harm.

Framework references: 216

Plan policies cited: LP1, LP3, LP4, Publication Plan policy 28, Publication Plan policy 29, Publication Plan policy 30

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

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.
