Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the conservation area
the effect of the development on the significance of the non-designated heritage asset (NDHA) known as The Dolphin Public House, 55 Albion Street

What decided it

The development fails to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area and negatively affects the significance of the adjacent non-designated heritage asset through its contemporary design and materials, which are incongruous with the traditional historic context.

Framework references: 212, 215

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.
