Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II* listed building 37-41 High Street or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses

What decided it

The removal of the infill panels would harm the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II* listed building by reducing the legibility of its development phases and diminishing the sense of enclosure, with insufficient public benefits to justify this harm.

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.
