Procedure: Written Representations
Development: other · Householder developments
Inspector: Boffin D

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the building is of special architectural or historic interest (ground a)
Whether the works constitute a contravention of sections 7 and 8 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (ground c)
Whether essential and urgent works were needed to preserve the listed building (ground d)
Whether the steps required by the notice would serve the purpose of restoring the character of the building to its former state (ground i)

What decided it

The rear boundary wall was established to be within the curtilage of the listed building and its removal without consent affected the character of the building as one of special architectural and historic interest, with no valid ground of appeal succeeding.

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.
