Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Harrogate Conservation Area, with particular regard to the effect on the significance of the non-designated heritage asset at 36 York Place
  • The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to outlook, privacy and loss of sunlight
  • The effect of the proposed development upon highway safety

What decided it

The identified harm to the conservation area and non-designated heritage asset, combined with material adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions, outweighed the public benefits of providing a single self-build dwelling.
