Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the Mickleton Conservation Area with particular regard to the impact on the significance of non-designated heritage assets

What decided it

The substantial loss of a traditional building that makes a positive contribution to the conservation area, combined with the harsh urbanising effect of the replacement hardstanding, cannot be justified by the limited public benefits of improved parking and an unsubstantiated highway safety claim.
