Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development protects or enhances the character and appearance of the Stroud Town Centre Conservation Area and host buildings, a non-designated heritage asset
The effect of the proposed development on the health of nearby residents and users

What decided it

The proposed replacement antenna would appear bulky and prominent, neither preserving nor enhancing the character or appearance of the conservation area and non-designated heritage asset, and the economic benefits did not provide sufficient justification to outweigh this harm.

Framework references: 119

Plan policies cited: CP14, ES10, ES12, AP6, AP8, AP9

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.
