Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character, appearance and significance of the non-designated heritage asset (NDHA), The Old Mill
- biodiversity, with particular regard to bats
What decided it
The demonstrable harm to The Old Mill as a non-designated heritage asset from the proposed rear deck and dormer would not be outweighed by the benefits of improved accessibility and modern living space, and the absence of a bat roost assessment creates non-compliance with biodiversity requirements.
