Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Uppermill Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Uppermill Conservation Area due to its excessive scale, poor design quality, and lack of sympathy with the historic context, and the modest public benefits did not outweigh this heritage harm.
Framework references: 202
Plan policies cited: Policy 9, Policy 20, Policy 24
