Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the development preserves the Grade II listed building, Adelaide House, 21, Wells Road and South Villa, 23, Wells Road, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Great Malvern Conservation Area

What decided it

The replacement uPVC units, in their form and materials, fail to preserve the listed building and conservation area and cause less than substantial harm to their significance that is not outweighed by public benefits.

the less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area was not outweighed by the public benefits of improved energy efficiency, economic benefits and social benefits

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.
