Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Heslington Conservation Area
  • the effects of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regard to privacy and whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for future occupiers with regard to light, outlook and outdoor amenity space

What decided it

The form and design of the proposed development would be broadly reflective of the character and appearance of the prevailing built form within the conservation area and would not harm its significance, while providing acceptable living conditions for future occupiers and not causing unacceptable harm to neighbours.
