Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works would preserve a grade II listed building Ilex Mill and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- Whether the works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Rawtenstall Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed composite windows would fail to preserve the special interest of the listed building and the significance of the conservation area, and the public benefits of the works would not outweigh the less than substantial but considerable harm to the designated heritage assets.
