Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the significance of The Silk Mill, a Grade II listed building
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 21 and 22 Brook Street in respect of outlook, noise and disturbance
- whether the development increases flood risk on site and for surrounding properties
- the effect of the development on biodiversity and wildlife
What decided it
The appeal site's location within an established developed and commercial context characterised by extensive hardstanding and parking areas means the development is in keeping with the prevailing character and does not cause unacceptable harm to heritage assets, living conditions, flood risk or biodiversity.
