Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II* listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and whether the scheme would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Chislehurst Conservation Area
The effect of the proposed terrace on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties in relation to privacy

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the special architectural interest of the Grade II* listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, contrary to the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and NPPF paragraph 199, and would additionally harm neighbours' living conditions through loss of privacy.

Framework references: 199, 202

Plan policies cited: Policy 37, Policy 38, Policy 41, Policy 6

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.
