Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building, Mill House; and preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cotterstock Conservation Area
What decided it
The uPVC windows would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed building, and no clear and convincing justification or sufficient public benefits were demonstrated to outweigh this harm.
The limited public benefits of the proposal were not sufficient to outweigh the considerable importance and weight attached to the harm to the significance of the conservation area and the Grade II listed Mill House.
