Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the installation of Upvc framed, double glazed windows at first floor level of the front and rear elevations and a composite entrance door at ground floor level preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building, whether they preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Central Conservation Area and whether the significance of the heritage assets is harmed

What decided it

The harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area caused by the installation of modern Upvc windows and composite door outweighs the modest public benefits claimed, as the viable use of the building could have been maintained through alternative means such as secondary glazing.

Framework references: 202

Plan policies cited: Policy SD8

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.
