Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve a Grade II listed building, 42 and 44 Clifton, and any features of architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special historic and architectural interest of the Grade II listed building, particularly the legibility and character of the historic rear staircase addition and the building's overall vertical emphasis, and the private benefits to the occupants did not outweigh this harm.

- Development plan policies
- Policy HE2 of the City of York Development Control Local Plan 2005Emerging Policy D5 of the City of York Local Plan (Publication Draft) 2018
