Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Harrogate Conservation Area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, enclosure, and privacy
What decided it
The development would cause both less than substantial harm to the significance of the Harrogate Conservation Area through poor design that fails to respect its character, and significant harm to neighbouring living conditions through increased enclosure and loss of privacy, with no material considerations sufficient to outweigh these conflicts with the development plan and Framework.
