Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development and works would preserve the Grade II listed building, 27-41 Clapham Road, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses, and the extent to which the works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the St Marks Conservation Area
the effect of the proposed development and works on trees

What decided it

The harm to the Grade II listed building's special architectural and historic interest, assessed as less than substantial but of considerable importance, was not outweighed by the limited and unsubstantiated public benefits of the proposal.

Framework references: 212, 213, 214, 215

Plan policies cited: Policy Q5, Policy Q11, Policy Q14, Policy Q20, Policy Q10

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.
