Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed amendment to the condition on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the effect on the Nidderdale National Landscape

What decided it

The proposed change would make the dwelling appear materially larger by revealing significantly more of the lower ground floor elevation, thereby harming the character and appearance of the Nidderdale National Landscape in conflict with development plan policies and NPPF guidance.

Framework references: 182

Plan policies cited: Policy HS7, Policy GS6

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
