Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Thirsk and Sowerby Conservation Area including the effect of the proposal on the setting of the Conservation Area.

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance and setting of the Thirsk and Sowerby Conservation Area was not outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area was not outweighed by the public benefits (housing, affordable housing, financial contributions, ecological enhancement, open space and pedestrian connectivity), so the balance tipped against the proposal.
