Inspector: Tucker A

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal upon the significance of the grade II listed building known as 6 and 8 Sussex Place
Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
Whether the proposal would contribute to mitigating and adapting to climate change in accordance with the development plan

What decided it

The removal of harmful modern windows and their replacement with appropriate timber sashes matching the adjacent listed building, combined with the limited interior significance of the building and the feasibility of retrofit thermal efficiency measures secured by condition, justified allowing both appeals.

Plan policies cited: Policy BCS22, Policy DM30, Policy DM31, Policy BCS13, Policy BCS14, Policy BCS15

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.
