Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area, including whether or not it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Trent and Mersey Canal Middlewich Kent Green Conservation Area and its effect on the setting of listed buildings
  • The living conditions of adjacent occupiers, with particular regard to overlooking

What decided it

The scheme would cause harm to the setting of designated heritage assets and the character and appearance of the area, and would harmfully impact the living conditions of adjacent occupiers through overlooking, with limited public benefits to outweigh this harm.
