Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character or appearance of the area, including the effect on the Moravian Settlement Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposal on the settings of Nos 5 and 7 The Settlement, which is a Grade II listed building, and the former Ockbrook lecture hall, which is a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The contemporary architectural design of the proposed dwelling would create unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the settings of the listed building and non-designated heritage asset, which cannot be mitigated by materials or landscaping and outweighs the moderate public benefits of the scheme.
