The Crossing Church Road, Jackfield, TELFORD, TF8 7ND

erection of a replacement conservatory following the demolition of the existing conservatory, installation of a new front door to replace existing door and replacement of an existing window on the southern elevation

Authority: Telford and Wrekin Council
Appeal type: householder · Householder (HAS)
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Nurser L

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the conservatory on designated and non-designated heritage assets; namely, the character and appearance of the host property, the setting of nearby listed buildings, the character or appearance of the Severn Gorge Conservation Area, and the protection of the Outstanding Universal Value of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site

What decided it

The conservatory's incongruous suburban design and alien materials cause less than substantial harm to multiple heritage assets whose public benefits do not outweigh this harm, whereas the replacement door and window cause no harm and are therefore acceptable.

Framework references: 189, 202, 197, 56

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.
