Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the setting of the Grade II Listed Building known as Hollins Mill
  • highway safety
  • flood risk

What decided it

The substantial harm to the significance of the listed building's setting, combined with unacceptable highway safety impacts and failure to satisfy flood risk requirements, could not be outweighed by the moderate benefits of residential development.

the moderate benefits of housing delivery and economic activity were outweighed by the great weight attached to less-than-substantial harm to the listed building's setting, combined with unacceptable highway safety impacts and unresolved flood risk
