Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed works would preserve the significance of the Grade II* listed building known as Brookthorpe Court and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses; and preserve the settings of the Grade II* listed Church of St Swithin and Grade II listed Old Vicarage
The effect of the proposed works in respect of biodiversity, in particular relating to European protected species comprising bats

What decided it

The absence of an elevation drawing for one side of the proposed extension prevented the Inspector from fully assessing the appearance of that element and its effect on the integrity of the listed building, making it impossible to be certain the proposals would preserve its significance.

Framework references: 207, 210, 212, 213, 214, 215

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.
