Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of an adjacent listed building
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Whitby Conservation Area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets, in the absence of sufficient public benefits to outweigh that harm, was decisive in dismissing both appeals.
