Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the works would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of this Grade II listed building, whether they would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the Conservation Area, and whether they would harm the significance of either of these designated heritage assets
Whether the scheme would create suitable living conditions for future residents
Whether the means of refuse storage is acceptable
Its effect on highway safety and the living conditions of nearby residents

What decided it

The unacceptable living conditions that would result for future residents, particularly the poor privacy and outlook, could not be outweighed by the benefits of providing additional housing or reusing the listed building.

Plan policies cited: Policy HE1, Policy BE3, Policy BE1, Policy TR1, Policy TR3

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.
