Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Spofforth Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed development would deliver an adequate mix of housing to meet local needs
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with regard to privacy and overlooking
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 16 High Street with regard to overshadowing
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Spofforth Conservation Area through demolition of non-designated heritage assets, and this harm was not outweighed by the limited public benefits identified, conflicting with paragraph 202 of the Framework and the statutory duty under section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
Framework references: 202, 203
