Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the works would preserve the Grade II listed building, Coal Pit Farm House and attached barn, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
Whether the period specified in the notice (three months) falls short of what should reasonably be allowed

What decided it

The UPVC windows fail to preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building, causing less than substantial but considerable harm that outweighs the private benefits claimed by the appellant.

The less than substantial harm to the special interest of the Grade II listed building outweighed the private benefits of thermal efficiency and reduced maintenance claimed by the appellant

Plan policies cited: Policy ENV1 of the Local Plan for Pendle Core Strategy 2011-2030

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.
