Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal upon the character or appearance of the Stratford-Upon-Avon Conservation Area, including consideration of the effect upon trees intended to be retained
The effect of the proposal upon the setting and thereby the significance of the Grade I Listed Holy Trinity Church
The effect of the proposal upon highway safety, having particular regard to intended parking arrangements
Whether or not satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers of the development would be provided, having particular regard to the availability of private garden space

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the heritage significance of both the conservation area and the Grade I listed church, which was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of delivering one additional dwelling and local economic support.

Framework references: 202

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.
