the replacement of an existing farmhouse known as ‘Home Farm’; demolition of existing farmhouse and associated outbuildings

Authority: Stratford-on-Avon District Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Pickernell E

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for a replacement dwelling, having regard to local planning policies
whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed buildings known as 'Stoney Thorpe Hall' and 'Stoney Thorpe Hall, stable block and attached outbuilding approximately 10 metres west of house'

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with development plan policies on replacement dwellings and heritage asset protection, with the identified harms to character, appearance and listed building setting not outweighed by the modest public benefits.

Framework references: 205, 208

Plan policies cited: AS.10, CS.5, CS.20, CS.9, CS.8

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.
