Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposals would preserve The Dog and Partridge Public House and No 3 Wellgate, a Grade II Listed Building, and any features of special architectural or historic interest it possesses
  • The effect of the proposals on the setting of nearby Listed Buildings
  • Whether the proposals would preserve the character or appearance of the area including Clitheroe Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposals on the living conditions of adjoining and nearby occupiers having regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposals would cause less than substantial harm to the listed building and conservation area which, when weighed against limited public benefits, failed to justify the development under NPPF paragraphs 199 and 202, and the proposals would also materially increase noise affecting neighbouring living conditions.
