Inspector: Dean S
Postcode: YO18 7SG

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the setting and significance of the designated heritage assets
the relationship of the proposal to the site of a, now lost, protected tree
whether the proposal would be compatible with the purposes of the National Park

What decided it

The proposal, being appropriately scaled, formed and detailed, would not harm the setting or significance of the listed building or Conservation Area, and would comply with National Park purposes and relevant development plan policies.

The benefits of appropriate residential development within the settlement boundary, respecting local vernacular and heritage character, outweighed any concerns about the loss of the last remaining open field adjacent to the listed building, given the site's location within the now built-up village and the limited sensitivity of the heritage assets to this particular development.
