Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area

What decided it

The proposed extension would result in a dwelling significantly larger and wider than surrounding properties, appearing incongruous and imposing in the street scene and conflicting with the prevailing pattern of development, thereby causing harm to the character and appearance of the area contrary to development plan policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy NBE9 of the Hart District Local Plan (Replacement) 1996 – 2006 (Adopted April 2009), Policy GEN 1 of the Hart Local Plan (Replacement) 1996 – 2006 Saved Policies (Adopted May 2020), Policy YDNFP4 of the Yateley, Darby Green and Frogmore Neighbourhood Plan 2020 – 2032 (Adopted July 2022)

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.
