Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development and works would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II building known as Mill 10 metres south west of Soberton Mill House
- The effect of the proposal on protected species
What decided it
The proposed development would cause less than substantial harm to the heritage asset's significance without sufficient public benefits to justify that harm, and would destroy protected bat roosts without the necessary surveys being completed to establish mitigation measures.
