Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, Hellifield Peel, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the Grade II listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument, Hellifield Peel
What decided it
The harm to the listed building and Scheduled Monument from the large contemporary extension and new buildings, which would substantially alter the character and setting of the heritage assets, was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of bringing the building back into economic use.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- ENV2(b)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 197Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 202
