Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Thirsk and Sowerby Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would result in the loss of historic window detailing that positively contributes to the character of the conservation area, and the private benefits to the appellant would not outweigh this harm to the designated heritage asset.
