Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, 'The Cottages', and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the special historic interest of the Grade II listed building by removing the physical and visual separation between the dwelling and the garage building, creating an overwhelming modern structure that would erode the building's legibility as a modest detached rural dwelling, and the private benefits did not outweigh this less than substantial harm.

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.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
