Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on flood risk
The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area including the Crabtree Conservation Area as well as the setting of the Grade II listed Grandstand and Turnstiles to Fulham Football Club

What decided it

The submitted flood risk assessment failed to adequately address residual tidal breach flood risk and did not demonstrate that basement sleeping accommodation would be safe for its lifetime, creating a conflict with development plan policies that could not be outweighed by the scheme's limited benefits.

Plan policies cited: Policy CC3, Policy DC11, Policy DC1, Policy DC4, Policy DC8

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.
