Authority: Richmond Upon Thames London Borough Council
Appeal type: other · Listed Building Consent & Conservation Area Consent Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: other · Householder developments
Inspector: Phillips B

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve the listed building, or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, in addition to whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Richmond Green Conservation Area

What decided it

The loss of historic fabric and panelling caused by the door enlargement, which would harm the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building, was not justified by the minor public benefits offered and therefore conflicted with the statutory presumptions and heritage conservation policies.

Framework references: 212

Plan policies cited: Policy LP3, Policy LP29

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.

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.
