Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building of Lower Frogmore Farmhouse, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of the listed building through the introduction of substantial dormer windows and chimney relocation, which would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits claimed.

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.
