Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed buildings known as 25 Church Street and 26 Church Street, their settings or any features of special architectural or historic interest which they possess
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Whitby Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed balcony on the living conditions of nearby occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, light, privacy and disturbance from its intended use including lighting and odours
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets, being of considerable importance and weight, outweighed the moderate public benefits claimed, and the loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers materially harmed living conditions.
