Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area having particular regard to the Buxton College Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to loss of sunlight, outlook and overlooking

What decided it

The proposed outbuilding would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area heritage asset with no public benefits to justify it, and would cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions through loss of sunlight, outlook and overlooking.
