Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding locality, with special attention to the Ruddington Conservation Area and the significance of the Former Framework Knitters Workshop (Grade II)

What decided it

The air-conditioning unit would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and to the significance of the listed building in its setting, and the limited public benefits do not outweigh this harm.

Framework references: 212, 213, 215

Plan policies cited: Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 1: Core Strategy Policy 11, Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies Policy 28, Ruddington Neighbourhood Plan Policy 10

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.
