Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of varying condition 12 to remove the part relating to Class E of the Town & Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The removal of the Class E restriction would allow outbuildings that could substantially occupy the rear gardens, conflicting with the distinctive spacious and verdant character of Woodside Walk.

Plan policies cited: CP1, CP12, DM1, DM6, Appendix 2

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.
