Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposals would preserve the Grade II listed building, 5 Saturday Market Place, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses; and the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of St Margarets Conservation Area
Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to internal space and private amenity space

What decided it

The harm to the special interest and significance of the Grade II listed building caused by demolition of the curtilage outbuilding, combined with poor living conditions for future occupiers, outweighs the public benefits of the proposal.

Framework references: 195, 205, 206, 208, 135

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.
