Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the accommodation proposed within the cartlodge would be appropriate in relation to development plan policy for the provision of such
Whether the new entrance gates and detached cartlodge would preserve the setting of the grade II listed Woodlands Farmhouse

What decided it

The cartlodge and entrance gates would fail to preserve the setting of the listed farmhouse and the annex accommodation would not comply with development plan policy for residential annexes, outweighing any other considerations.

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.
