Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, bearing in mind it would be within the settings of the grade I listed Moulton Mill and the Moulton Mill Conservation Area
What decided it
The noticeable increase in height and introduction of a large dormer window would create an incongruous feature that would interrupt the visual relationship between Moulton Mill and its surroundings, causing less than substantial harm to the designated heritage assets that could not be justified by the modest public benefits of the scheme.
