Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve the listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, with particular regard to its main façade
The extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the St Nicholas/Northgate Conservation Area

What decided it

The applicant failed to provide sufficient evidence through a properly prepared Heritage Impact Assessment by a qualified specialist to justify the demolition, contrary to Framework paragraph 207 and Policy E5 of the Local Plan.

Framework references: 207, 212, 213, 215

Plan policies cited: Policy E5 of the Great Yarmouth Local Plan Part 2 (adopted 2021)

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.
