Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether sufficient evidence has been provided to justify the permanent loss of the existing community facility
- Whether the proposed development preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the Harrogate Conservation Area (CA)
- The effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the second floor flat of 29 East Parade with particular reference to outlook
- Whether future occupiers of the proposed development would have acceptable living conditions with particular reference to privacy
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with Policy HP8 due to insufficient evidence justifying the permanent loss of the community facility, and additionally conflicts with conservation area policies due to unmitigated less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Harrogate Conservation Area.
