Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would preserve Grade II listed building, no 6 Southgate Green, its features of special architectural or historic interest, and on-site archaeological remains, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Bury St Edmunds Town Centre Conservation Area
the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
the effect of the proposed development on priority or protected species
whether the biodiversity gain condition would be capable of being discharged

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the setting and special historic interest of the Grade II listed building and the character or appearance of the conservation area, contrary to the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and NPPF paragraph 210.

Framework references: 210, 212, 213, 215, 193

Plan policies cited: LP35, LP37, LP9, LP44, SP9, LP13, SP8

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.
