Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The proposed extension would fail to preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building by creating an over-dominant form that would significantly disrupt and erode the ability to appreciate the architectural evolution of the house, with no public benefits identified to outweigh this heritage harm.

Framework references: 205, 206, 208

Plan policies cited: ENV6, ENV7, H20

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.
