Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed works and development would preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed 32 Lansdowne Gardens or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
The effect of the proposed development on the supply of housing in the Borough

What decided it

The public benefits of restoring historic features and securing the optimum viable use of the listed building as two units outweigh the less than substantial harm to its significance and justify the loss of one residential unit.

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.
