Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to its effects upon the settings and thereby the significance of the Grade I listed building known as 'Charlecote Park', its Grade II* listed Registered Park and Garden, other relevant listed buildings, the Charlecote and Hampton Lucy Conservation Area and the Alveston Conservation Area
The effect of the proposal upon the heritage significance of the Scheduled Monument known as 'Enclosure North of Old Pasture Farm'

What decided it

The unacceptable effect upon the heritage significance of the Scheduled Monument, where less than substantial harm to buried archaeological remains could not be ruled out, was not outweighed by the scheme's public benefits.

Framework references: 202

Plan policies cited: CS5, CS8, CS9, CS20

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.
