Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area bearing in mind it would be within the Stoke Golding Conservation Area and partly within the Battle of Bosworth (field 1485) Registered Battlefield, within the setting of the grade I listed Church of St Margaret and within the setting of the Ashby Canal Conservation Area

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Stoke Golding Conservation Area and the Battle of Bosworth Registered Battlefield was not outweighed by the public benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits.

the less than substantial harm to the designated heritage assets was weighed against the public benefits of six new dwellings, economic benefits from construction and local expenditure, and support for the public house viability, but the heritage harm was not outweighed by these benefits

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.
