Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the setting of Conigre House, a grade II listed building
The proposal's effect on the living conditions of the occupiers at Woodcote and Cedar Cottage with particular reference to privacy

What decided it

The proposal would have an unacceptable effect on the character and appearance of the host property through its visually incongruous contrast with the bungalow's existing roof design, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this harm.

The absence of harm to the listed building's setting and to neighbours' living conditions was outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the host property, with no material considerations to tip the balance in favour of the proposal.

Plan policies cited: Policy CP57 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy, Policy BE1 of the Bradford on Avon Neighbourhood Plan, Policy BE2 of the Bradford on Avon Neighbourhood 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.
