Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building, 30-32 York Road, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Fulford Village Conservation Area
  • the living conditions of the existing and future occupants of the host dwelling, with regard to outlook and outdoor amenity space

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets (the Conservation Area and listed building setting) through the subdivision of the historic burgage plot could not be justified by the moderate public benefits offered, and the development would also unacceptably harm the living conditions of the host dwelling's occupants.
