Inspector: James A

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as '15-29, Wellington Crescent' and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Ramsgate Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the special interest of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the public benefits of the scheme were insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset.

Framework references: 212, 213, 215

Plan policies cited: Policy E07, Policy HE02, Policy HE03, Policy SP36, Policy QD02

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.
