Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and its significance as a non-designated heritage asset, and the effect on the character and appearance of the surroundings
the effect of the proposed development on the setting of the Grade II listed Glebe House
the effect of the proposal on highway safety
whether the proposal would provide adequate living accommodation for future occupiers with respect to the provision of light
whether the proposal would meet sustainability and carbon reduction requirements

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the non-designated heritage asset and its surroundings, and the minor benefits of providing additional housing do not outweigh this identified harm.

Framework references: 11, 209

Plan policies cited: Policy 57, Policy 58, Policy 61, Policy 62, Policy 41

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.
