Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal upon the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site
  • Whether the site is suitably located for the development proposed with regard to development plan policies

What decided it

The harm to the Outstanding Universal Value of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, to which great weight must be given, outweighs the modest benefits of providing two dwellings in an unsustainably located settlement.
