Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the setting of the Grade II Listed Buildings known as Sherbourne Mill and Sherbourne Mill House
  • the effect of the development on the landscape character of the area

What decided it

The public benefits of the scheme, particularly the avoidance of Flood Zone 3 risk and the absence of a less harmful alternative access/bridge option, outweighed the less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed buildings.

the benefits of the development, taken together (avoidance of flood risk in Flood Zone 3, lack of a less harmful alternative, modest highway safety benefits and mitigation via pedestrian adaptation of the original access), outweighed the less than substantial harm to the designated heritage assets
