Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed works and development would preserve the Grade II listed building and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
The effect of the proposed works and development upon the character and appearance of the Canal Conservation Area
The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers, having particular regard to outlook and access to light

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the heritage significance of the listed building and conservation area, which was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.

Framework references: 202

Plan policies cited: Policy BE3, Policy HE1, Policy BE1

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.

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.
