Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the proposal upon the special architectural or historic interest of the Grade II listed building 'New Cottages', known as Nos 7 and 8 Newstone Cottages, of which the appeal property is part
The effects of the proposal upon the character or appearance of the Turners Hill Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, with the public benefits insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial but considerable heritage harm.

Framework references: 212, 213

Plan policies cited: Policy DP26, Policy DP34, Policy DP35, Policy THP7

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.
