Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building known as Manor House, or any features of special architectural and historic interest which it possesses
Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Burton Conservation Area

What decided it

The cumulative effects of the extension's design, size, scale, form and materials would fail to preserve the Grade II listed building and would not preserve or enhance the conservation area's character and appearance, and the identified public benefits were insufficient to outweigh this considerable harm.

Framework references: 195, 205, 207, 208

Plan policies cited: Policy S57 of the Central Lincolnshire Local 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.

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.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

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.
