Inspector: White P

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the building and the area, with particular regard to whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the King's Lynn Conservation Area

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the King's Lynn Conservation Area caused by the replacement of traditional timber windows with non-traditional UPVC windows, which conflicts with the statutory duty to preserve or enhance the conservation area and development plan policies, outweighs the limited public benefits of addressing the poor state of repair.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP18, Policy LP20, Policy LP21

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.
