Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
whether the development preserves the setting of the Grade II listed building, Warren Cottage (and attached Hollyhocks), or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and the extent to which the development preserves or enhances the East Clandon Conservation Area

What decided it

The development fails to preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building Warren Cottage, causing less than substantial harm to its significance that is not outweighed by the private benefits of the proposal.

Framework references: 153, 154, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216

Plan policies cited: Policy P2, Policy D1, Policy D3, Policy H4, Policy D4, Policy D18

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.
