Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of 9 Manor Road and the surrounding area, including the Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II listed building 5 Manor Road
the living conditions of neighbouring properties on Manor Road, with particular regard to privacy, outlook, daylight and sunlight

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to heritage assets that would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits, and would significantly harm neighbouring living conditions through loss of privacy and reduced daylight and sunlight.

Framework references: 212, 215

Plan policies cited: Policy HC1 - Built Heritage, Policy GD8 - Good design in development, Policy H6: Design Standards, Policy ENV6: Non-designated Heritage Assets

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.
