Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, 'The Big House' (Ref: 1054195), and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Whittington Conservation Area
The effects of the proposal on protected species, having regard to bats

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the special historic interest of the Grade II listed building as the extension would be an unduly dominant addition that would detract from the building's traditional roof and its features, and the private benefits identified did not constitute sufficient public benefits to outweigh this harm.

Framework references: 199, 200, 202, 180

Plan policies cited: Policy CS6, Policy MD13, Policy CS17, Policy MD12

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.
