Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Ranmoor Conservation Area

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Ranmoor Conservation Area caused by the visually competing and incongruous extensions could not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of the scheme.

The less than substantial harm to the heritage asset, to which considerable importance and great weight must be attached, outweighed the public benefits of continued dwelling use and housing stock improvements, neither individually nor cumulatively sufficient to justify the development.
