Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, or its setting, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants
The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building and its special interest through minimal, reversible changes that would not disrupt how the asset is experienced or diminish the contribution its setting makes to its significance.

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.
