Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II listed building, Limes Cottage, or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The proposed extension, being of reasonably large scale and positioned at a right angle to the main dwelling, would harmfully disrupt the simple linear form of the existing listed building, and the limited public benefits do not outweigh the considerable harm to the building's special architectural and historic interest.

Framework references: 199, 200, 201, 202

Plan policies cited: Policy LB1 of the Chiltern Local Plan (adopted 1997, alterations 2001, consolidated 2007 and 2011)

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.
