Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Moreton Morrell Conservation Area and the effect of the proposal upon the setting of nearby listed buildings

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area and multiple listed buildings, combined with the failure to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the area, could not be justified by the public benefits of providing a local market dwelling.

Framework references: 202

Plan policies cited: CS.5, CS.8, CS.9, CS.12

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.
