Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve the special interest of the grade II listed building referred to in the list description as '22-36 Hebden Bridge Road' and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Oxenhope Upper Town Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 34 and 38 Upper Town with regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The harm to the special interest of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, combined with harm to neighbouring amenity, was not outweighed by any public benefits of the proposal.
The harm to heritage assets and neighbouring amenity was not outweighed by the private benefits of additional accommodation and unsubstantiated environmental benefits.
