Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building, 65, 66 and 67 North Street and its setting
- The effect of the proposal on the settings of adjacent Grade II listed buildings
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ripon Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the free flow of traffic and highway safety in the vicinity of the site
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with regard to internal space provision, be of a sustainable design and provide adequate cycle parking
- Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposal, having regard to its siting within Zone C concerning Gypsum Related Subsidence in the Ripon Area
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of designated heritage assets (listed buildings and conservation area) which could not be justified by the moderate public benefits of providing eight residential units.
