Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Haltwhistle Conservation Area
- The living conditions of existing occupiers of Mill Lane House to the south in relation to privacy
What decided it
The development fails to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Haltwhistle Conservation Area and causes undue loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers, with no demonstrated public benefits to outweigh the identified harm.
