effects of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of the appeal property, with particular regard to outlook and daylight

What decided it

The longstanding parking use of the forecourt and absence of evidence that the proposal would materially increase parking demand or vehicle movements meant the conflict with sustainable transport objectives attracted only limited weight, which was outweighed by environmental and visual improvements.

the identified benefits of enhanced landscaping, permeable surfacing and biodiversity outweighed the limited conflict with sustainable transport objectives of the development plan

Plan policies cited: LP41, LP42, LP43, LP45, LP1, LP2, LP47, Policy 6.1 of the London Plan (2021), Policy G6 of the London 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.

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.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

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.
