Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal scheme preserves a Grade II listed building, known as 'Former Mews', and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
The extent to which it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of The Avenues Conservation Area

What decided it

The permanent awning frame and increased height planters fail to preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building and the character and appearance of The Avenues Conservation Area, and the modest benefits do not outweigh the considerable heritage harm.

Framework references: 215

Plan policies cited: CP15, DM26, DM27, DM29

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.
