Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on a) the character and appearance of the area and b) biodiversity and climate change
What decided it
The substantial footprint and design of the proposed extension would overwhelm and dominate Borlocco House and harm the character and appearance of the Boston Spa Conservation Area and the non-designated heritage asset, and this harm could not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
