Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular reference to historic significance and the setting of Wharncliffe Fireclay Works, a Grade II listed building
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the residents of 165 West Street and 12 Westhill Lane with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, the setting of the listed building, and the living conditions of neighbouring residents could not be justified by the undemonstrated public benefits of the scheme.
