Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the York Hill Conservation Area
The effect of the development on the listed building (public house), having regard to the desirability of preserving the listed building or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest

What decided it

The new hard surface is located at the rear of the building, not visible from public views, and its setting has been improved by retention of trees, such that it preserves the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed building.

Plan policies cited: Policy DM9, Policy DM21

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.
