Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Woodside with particular regard to privacy, outlook and sunlight
the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Woodside through overbearing impact, loss of privacy and altered outlook from the proposed building's proximity, height and length along the shared boundary outweighs the benefits of the development.

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.
