Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the works contravene section 9 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 by affecting the special architectural or historic interest of the building
Whether the works were urgently necessary in the interests of health, safety or to preserve the building
Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to restore the building to its condition before the works were carried out

What decided it

The alterations materially affected the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building through changes to the internal layout, loss of original features, and external modifications, requiring restoration except for the hot water tank which had no impact on historic character.

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.
