Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to access to outlook and sunlight

What decided it

The proposal would harm both the character and appearance of the area through its incongruous height and form, and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through dominance and reduced sunlight access, conflicting with the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy EC2 of the Castle Point Local Plan (1998), Provision RDG7 of the Residential Design Guidance (2013), Provision RDG3 of the Residential Design Guidance (2013)

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.
