Authority: Babergh District Council
Appeal type: householder · Householder (HAS)
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Bartlett R

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on designated heritage assets, namely the setting of the adjacent Grade II listed buildings (Wynn House and Nos. 41, 43, 45 and 47 Swan Street) and the character or appearance of the Boxford Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed extension would be subservient to the existing dwelling, appropriately offset from the boundary with Wynn House, and would not dominate the setting of the adjacent listed buildings or alter the neutral contribution of the appeal property to the conservation area.

Plan policies cited: LP19, LP24, BOX7, BOX8, BOX10

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.
