Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the development preserves the listed building and any features of special architectural and historic interest that it possesses
Whether it preserves the setting of the Scheduled Monument
Whether it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the conservation area
The effect on the significance of the locally listed park and garden as a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The development fails to preserve the special interest of the listed building, fails to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area, and fails to preserve the significance of the Scheduled Monument through its setting, with no sufficient public benefits to outweigh the less than substantial but considerable heritage harm.

Framework references: 85, 205, 206, 208, 209

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.
