Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the effect on the significance of the Cricklade Conservation Area and Bryn Cottage, a Grade II Listed Building, as designated heritage assets, through development in it and within its setting, and the non-designated heritage asset known as the Cricklade Museum, through development within its setting

What decided it

The substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area caused by the incongruous scale, massing, design and fenestration of the proposed outbuilding outweighs the limited public benefits of the scheme.

Framework references: 208, 209

Plan policies cited: Core Policy 57, Core Policy 58

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.
