- Whether the proposals would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Barwick in Elmet Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposals would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area through excessive bulk and massing of the gabled roof form, and this harm was not outweighed by any public benefits, particularly given the availability of a less harmful fallback scheme.
