Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Slingsby Conservation Area
What decided it
The off-street parking would remove a long unbroken grass verge that forms a strong visual feature of the street scene and conservation area character, and the limited public benefits of the parking provision could not outweigh the less than substantial harm identified.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SP12 of the Ryedale Plan Local Plan Strategy (2013)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 196
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
