Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that the unauthorised works have had on the character and appearance of the Cromford Conservation Area and the Outstanding Universal Value of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site

What decided it

The works as constructed are visually harmful to irreplaceable heritage assets of the highest significance and do not comply with development plan policies or NPPF section 16, but the compliance period can reasonably be extended to allow repositioning and reduction of the wall to the pre-application agreed position.
