Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the host property, the local area and the Harrogate Conservation Area

What decided it

The absence of any public benefits to weigh against the less than substantial harm to the conservation area's significance meant the conflict with the development plan could not be outweighed.

Less than substantial harm to the conservation area's significance was weighed against public benefits; no public benefits were advanced, so the harm could not be justified.

Framework references: 202
