Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide an appropriate mix of market housing
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the use of the nearby burial ground by visitors, with particular regard to privacy and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would not provide an appropriate mix of market housing in accordance with Policy HS1 of the Harrogate District Local Plan, as it was heavily skewed towards four-bedroom properties contrary to identified housing needs and was not supported by sufficient evidence.
Plan policies cited: Policy HS1, Policy HP3, Policy HP4
