Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Skipton Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents and whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the less than substantial but considerable harm to its significance, when weighed against the limited public benefits of three dwellings, combined with the harmful effects on neighbouring residents' privacy through overlooking, led to the dismissal of the appeal.
