Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the scheme would preserve a Grade II* listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses; and, if any harm would arise to its significance, whether this would be outweighed by public benefits
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II* listed building was not outweighed by the limited public benefits, particularly because viable alternative options existed that would cause less harm.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II* listed building outweighed the limited public benefits of a single dwelling and uncertain heritage benefits from mill repairs.
