Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, No 20 Woodstock Road, and any special features of architectural or historic interest it possesses
Whether the character or appearance of the Bedford Park Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced

What decided it

The loss of historic fabric and disruption to the original design of apertures in a Grade II listed building of special architectural interest, combined with the absence of public benefits to outweigh the identified harm, meant the proposal failed to preserve the building's special features and the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.

Framework references: 212, 213, 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.
