Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Knaresborough Conservation Area, with particular regard to the loss of existing trees
- The living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development
What decided it
The failure to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area through loss of trees and open space, combined with inadequate evidence that future occupiers would have acceptable living conditions, outweighed the limited public benefits of delivering affordable housing.
