Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on housing stock and whether it would optimise the site for housing delivery

What decided it

The proposal would result in an unacceptable net loss of housing units and would not optimise the site for housing delivery, conflicting with Policies H1 and H2 of the Islington DMP and Policy H1 of the London Plan

Plan policies cited: Policy H1 of the Islington Local Plan Strategic and Development Management Policies (2023), Policy H2 of the Islington Local Plan Strategic and Development Management Policies (2023), Policy PLAN1 of the Islington Local Plan Strategic and Development Management Policies (2023), Policy H1 of the London Plan: The Spatial Development Strategy for Greater London (2021), Table 3.2 of the Islington Local Plan Strategic and Development Management Policies (2023)

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.
