Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would harm character and appearance of the area and the host property including nearby designated and non-designated heritage assets
  • whether the proposal would make a positive contribution to the vitality and viability of the Dronfield Local Centre
  • whether the proposal would harm the living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties with particular regard to noise and odour
  • whether the proposal would have an unacceptable effect on highway safety

What decided it

The public benefits of bringing a vacant heritage building back into use and contributing to the vitality of the Local Centre outweighed the less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area when mitigation measures were properly conditioned.
