Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II listed building, known as Demesne Farmhouse and attached farm buildings and garden walls, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses

What decided it

The proposed double glazed windows and door would lack the constructional integrity and visual subtleties of the existing single glazed features and would be clearly identifiable as modern fixtures, causing harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building that is not outweighed by sufficient public benefits.

Framework references: 199, 200, 201, 202

Plan policies cited: Strategic Policy I, Policy ENV11

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.
