Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the local area, bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of nearby listed buildings, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ripon Conservation Area
What decided it
The rear roof replacement would not be readily visible from the public domain and would therefore not harm the character and appearance of the conservation area or the setting of nearby listed buildings, while the proposal would deliver public benefits including building longevity and renewable energy installation.
