Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal preserves the setting of a Grade II listed building, the Church of St Peter
- The extent to which it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Harrogate Conservation Area
What decided it
The screen's poor design quality and wholly inappropriate materials failed to preserve the setting of the listed Church and the significance of the Conservation Area, and the limited public benefits were insufficient to outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- HP2HP3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 202
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
