®Planning appeal decision
Market Hall, Abbey Wharf, Market Place, Whitby, North Yorkshire, YO22 4DD
Planning appeal 3325999 at Market Hall, Abbey Wharf, Market Place, Whitby, North Yorkshire, YO22 4DD (Scarborough Borough Council *) was dismissed on 19 July 2024 by Inspector McDonagh C, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the proposal would preserve the listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses.
‘remove and replace the existing porous stone façade to the existing 1960s modern addition to the building, create a partially open roof terrace with balcony and glazed link from the historical asset, and extend the existing balcony area to the north facing elevation of the modern element, at 1st floor level.’
