Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with specific regard to the setting of the Bagnall Conservation Area

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the setting and significance of the Bagnall Conservation Area, which the identified public benefits of the proposal could not outweigh.

The substantial harm to the conservation area's setting and the character and appearance of the area outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery, economic benefits during construction, and limited environmental benefits, resulting in dismissal.
