Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, the setting of listed buildings (the Mill Manager's House, Rock House, and the Coach House, all Grade II) and 69 Derby Road (Rock Lodge) as a non-designated heritage asset, and whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cromford Conservation Area

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets (the World Heritage Site, Conservation Area, and listed buildings) and non-designated heritage asset, when weighed against the limited public benefits, outweighed the appellant's need to secure the garden boundaries.

the less than substantial harm to the significance of the heritage assets was given great weight and was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of family security, pollution reduction, and yew hedging planting
