Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character or appearance of the Boroughbridge Conservation Area
- the setting of listed buildings in the vicinity
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy, outlook and noise
What decided it
The less-than-substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed building, combined with unacceptable loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers, outweighed the private benefits of the proposal when great weight was given to heritage conservation.
The less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area and listed building setting, and the unacceptable harm to neighbouring privacy, were not outweighed by the private benefits of improved outdoor space and parking demarcation.
