Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve a grade II listed building, 1-7 Newhouses Cottages, Springfield Road and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The harm to the special interest of the listed building caused by the loss of historic fabric and disruption to the traditional boundary treatment could not be justified by the minimal public benefits of the proposal.

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.

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.
