Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the Bolsover Conservation Area and the setting of Non-Designated Heritage Assets

What decided it

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of Non-Designated Heritage Assets caused by the proposed alterations, which would not be outweighed by the modest public benefits of providing one dwelling and bringing a vacant building back into use.
