Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Stroud Industrial Heritage Conservation Area

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the Stroud Industrial Heritage Conservation Area arising from the erosion of open space and introduction of an urbanising element into a key gap between settlement clusters, which outweighs the limited public benefits of supporting a local business.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the IHCA, given considerable weight, was clearly outweighed by limited public benefits comprising support to a local business and the reversibility of the development, resulting in the proposal failing to conserve or enhance the historic environment.
