Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the front dormer window on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area

What decided it

The front dormer's curved eyebrow design fails to harmonise with the host property's modern, angular architectural style, appearing as a discordant feature in the street scene and thereby harming the character and appearance of the dwelling and surrounding area contrary to the development plan.

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.
