Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development and works on the special architectural and historic interest of the curtilage listed buildings and setting of Patsalls, a Grade II listed building

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the curtilage listed buildings and setting of Patsalls, contrary to the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and local plan policies, with no public benefits to outweigh the less than substantial harm identified.

Framework references: 199, 202

Plan policies cited: Policy HC10, Policy HC12

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.
