Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the grade II listed building National Westminster Bank, Market Place, Settle and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Settle Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of Constantine Cottage
  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety with particular reference to car parking

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of Constantine Cottage arising from the external staircase and entrance landing in very close proximity to their bedroom window, combined with noise and disturbance and loss of daylight, provided compelling grounds to dismiss the appeal despite the public benefits of the scheme outweighing the heritage harm.
