Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of 5 Pepper Lane and the surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Stanton-by-Dale Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would harmfully reduce the positive contribution the appeal property makes to the character and appearance of the Stanton-by-Dale Conservation Area, conflicting with Section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and the development plan, with no material considerations to outweigh this conflict.

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.
