Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the street scene, with particular regard to the preservation or enhancement of the Bingley Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed dormer window would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Bingley Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset, which outweighed the minor public benefit of the scheme, whereas the driveway alone would cause no such harm and was therefore acceptable.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EN3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 16Paragraph 130Paragraph 199Paragraph 202
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
