Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the building represents a Non-Designated Heritage Asset
whether any harm to the Non-Designated Heritage Asset is outweighed

What decided it

the significant harm to the historic environment from the total loss of the Non-Designated Heritage Asset was not clearly outweighed by the limited benefits of the scheme

the significant harm to the historic environment outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply, land reuse, and economic gain, so the balance tipped against the proposal

Framework references: 203, 205

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

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.
