Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the supply of permanent residential accommodation in Westminster
whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as 25-29 Cleveland Gardens, and any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses

What decided it

The identified harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building, which was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, combined with the loss of one residential unit contrary to Policy 8C.

Framework references: 199, 200, 201, 202

Plan policies cited: Policy 8, Policy 8C, Policy 39

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.
