Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would result in harm in achieving the planned distribution of development in the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the significance of the Skipton Conservation Area, as a designated heritage asset through development within its setting
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Skipton Conservation Area through development within its setting, which carries great weight and is not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal.
The considerable benefits of housing delivery, affordable housing provision, and economic benefits were outweighed by the great weight given to the conservation of the designated heritage asset and the moderate harm to achieving the planned distribution of development.
