Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Beverley Conservation Area
- whether the development preserves the settings of 28 North Bar Within and St Marys Manor, both of which are Grade II listed buildings
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of 1 and 2 The Old Racing Stables, with regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The development causes less than substantial harm to the significance of three designated heritage assets (the conservation area and two listed buildings) which, when weighed against modest public benefits, cannot be justified, and additionally causes unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- ENV1ENV3
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.
