Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the host dwelling and Blackheath Park Conservation Area

What decided it

The retention of the distinctive roof form and Arts and Crafts character of the dwelling, combined with the sympathetic design of the extension which would not overwhelm the existing building, meant the proposal would preserve rather than harm the character and appearance of the conservation area.

Framework references: 12, 16

Plan policies cited: DH1, DH3, DH(a), DH(h), D3, HC1

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.
