Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, The Royal Oak Public House, 18 Goodramgate, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • The extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Central Historic Core Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed floodlights would be smaller and less visually prominent than the existing units being removed, and the rerouting of cabling would reduce clutter, thereby preserving the listed building's special interest and the Conservation Area's character.

Framework references: 197
