Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would preserve and enhance the character and appearance of the South Hale Conservation Area, including the effect on Danemere as a non-designated heritage asset
the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset (South Hale Conservation Area) and the non-designated heritage asset (Danemere), combined with harm to neighbouring living conditions, outweighed the modest public benefits of providing an additional dwelling.

Framework references: 212, 215, 216

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.
