Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property
Whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for the future occupiers
The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Guiseley Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would cause harm to the living conditions of neighbouring property occupiers and fail to provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers, which are important matters contrary to the development plan that cannot be outweighed by the modest housing benefit of six dwellings.
