Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, 'Church Cottage and Church Gate Cottage and Attached Outbuilding', and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
Whether the character or appearance of the Collyweston Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the special historic interest of the Grade II listed building and the character and appearance of the Collyweston Conservation Area, and the public benefits did not outweigh this identified harm.

Framework references: 199, 200, 202

Plan policies cited: Policy 2 of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031 (2016)

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.
