Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the location of the appeal site and its relationship to designated heritage assets is suitable for residential development

What decided it

The harm to the listed building Hill View and the Sapperton Conservation Area, individually less than substantial but cumulatively considerable, was not outweighed by the public benefits of housing delivery, and the policies protecting designated heritage assets provided a strong reason for refusal under Framework paragraph 11(d).

the benefits of housing delivery in a sustainable settlement, whilst considerable, were not sufficient to outweigh the less than substantial but cumulatively considerable harm to the listed building and conservation area

Framework references: 11, 214, 215

Plan policies cited: Policy EN4, Policy EN8, Policy EN10, Policy EN11, Policy DS3

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.
