Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of protecting heritage assets

What decided it

The potential for archaeological remains relating to medieval and post-medieval mills within the appeal site, combined with the absence of substantive evidence to demonstrate no such remains are present where the extension is proposed, makes the archaeological investigation condition necessary and proportionate to protect heritage assets in accordance with NPPF paragraph 207 and Policy N9.
