Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the development would be consistent with local and national policies relating to the location of new housing
The effect of the proposed development upon the host property as a non-designated heritage asset and the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the proposal upon the setting of a nearby listed building
The effect upon protected species

What decided it

The substantial extension would fundamentally alter the barn's character and appearance as a non-designated heritage asset and harm the setting of a nearby listed building, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh this harm.

Framework references: 208

Plan policies cited: Policy DS4, Policy EC6, Policy EN2, Policy EN4, Policy EN8, Policy EN10, Policy EN12, Policy EN13, Policy EN1

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.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

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