Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The main issue for both appeals is the effect of the development on the significance and special interest of Osidge, a Grade II listed building.

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building, Osidge, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the schemes.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building was found to outweigh the moderate public benefits (housing delivery, economic benefits, housing mix and wheelchair provision), particularly given the extant Block 2 permission would deliver similar benefits without the harm.

Framework references: 208, 205

Plan policies cited: HC1, CS1, CS5, DM01, DM06

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.
