Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as 'Port Hall and attached walls', and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building, with the identified harm to the designated heritage asset not outweighed by limited public benefits, contrary to paragraph 208 of the NPPF and the requirements of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

Framework references: 203, 205, 206, 208

Plan policies cited: CP12, CP15, DM18, DM21, DM27, DM29

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.
