Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the area, with due regard to the Mare Street Conservation Area
Living conditions of nearby residents in respect of light

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and host building, to which great weight was attached, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal in this specific location.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP2, Policy LP1, Policy LP3, Policy D4, Policy HC1

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.
