Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the first-floor element of the proposed side extension on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, having regard to the Becontree Estate as a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The first-floor element of the proposed side extension would harm the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area by introducing a complicated roof design and eroding the distinctive gap between terraced properties that contributes to the Becontree Estate's heritage significance.

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.
