Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area including the Millgate Conservation Area and the setting of a nearby listed building
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of residents of 20 and 22 Millgate with regard to outlook and light, and whether acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwellings would be provided in terms of outlook and outdoor amenity space
whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development with reference to its vulnerability to flooding
the effect of the proposed development on highway safety with regard to parking

What decided it

The harm to the listed building and Conservation Area, combined with harm to neighbouring living conditions and failure to pass the sequential flood risk test, could not be justified by the limited public benefits of two new homes.
