Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Belper and Milford Conservation Area and the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site
  • The effect of the development on the setting of nearby Listed Buildings

What decided it

The replacement windows, while using uPVC, closely replicate the design and proportions of the earlier windows and, due to the building's setback position and window recess, do not appear incongruous or detrimental to the heritage assets.
