Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect the development would have on the character and appearance of the area, including the significance of designated heritage assets
The effect on the safety, convenience and enjoyment of pedestrians using the footway in which the development would be situated

What decided it

The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area and the significance of designated heritage assets, with limited public benefits insufficient to outweigh this harm, and would also adversely affect pedestrian convenience and enjoyment contrary to the development plan.

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.
