Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the area including on the non-designated heritage assets of the Canalside Heritage Centre, Beeston Lock and the Lock Keeper's Cottage
  • The effects of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of existing occupiers
  • Its effects on highway safety

What decided it

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area and the non-designated heritage assets, combined with the overbearing impact on neighbouring properties, outweighed the benefits of housing provision.

The importance of housing provision was outweighed by the substantial scale of harm arising to the three non-designated heritage assets and the overbearing and dominant impact on the character of the surrounding area.
