Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Weetwood Conservation Area (WCA), including in respect of the protected tree within the site
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of 3 Quarry Dene Park, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Weetwood Conservation Area, to which great weight must be given in accordance with the Framework, was not outweighed by any identified public benefits.

The less than substantial harm to the Weetwood Conservation Area was weighed against the absence of any identified public benefits, and the harm was not outweighed; great weight was given to the conservation of the heritage asset.
