Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the Whatstandwell Conservation Area
  • Whether the development would safeguard the Outstanding Universal Value of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site

What decided it

The proposed development would cause less than substantial harm to two designated heritage assets (the Conservation Area and World Heritage Site buffer zone) which, when given significant weight, is not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the scheme.
