Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building and its setting
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Otley Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets (the listed building and its setting, and the conservation area character) was not outweighed by the private benefits of the proposal, which lacked clear and convincing justification.
