Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Horsforth Conservation Area
- Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the future occupiers of the proposed development with particular regard to privacy and outlook, given the ground floor design
- The effect of the proposed development upon the occupiers of 7 Feast Field with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the Horsforth Conservation Area's significance, which could not be outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, was the decisive factor in dismissing the appeal.
