Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Mickleover Conservation Area
The effect of the proposed development on the setting of nearby listed buildings

What decided it

The proposed development would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the Mickleover Conservation Area through its excessive scale and massing, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.

Less-than-substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area was weighed against public benefits; no public benefits were identified to outweigh the harm, and the proposal therefore conflicted with the development plan.
