Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the consequences of varying the conditions would preserve the Grade II listed building known as Milton Green Farmhouse, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building caused by the scale, massing and extensive glazing of the proposed extension was not outweighed by the limited public benefits, particularly given the availability of less harmful fallback schemes.

Framework references: 207, 208

Plan policies cited: ENV5, ENV6, DM3, DM47

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.
