Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bramhope Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would not preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bramhope Conservation Area due to the significant reduction in spacing, incoherent roof design, loss of distinctive features, and failure to reflect conservation area guidance.
The functional benefits of aligning internal floor levels and improving disabled access, together with addressing a leaking roof, did not outweigh the harm to the historic environment, which attracts strong protection through the planning system; effects on neighbouring living conditions and highway safety were neutral.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy P10Policy P11
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
