Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the preservation or enhancement of the Harrogate Conservation Area and the setting of the non-designated heritage asset of No. 36 York Place
- the living conditions of the occupiers of Flat 1 and Flat 2 of No. 36a York Place, with particular regard to overshadowing and outlook
What decided it
The great weight given to the less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area and moderate harm to the setting of the non-designated heritage asset, combined with unacceptable harm to neighbouring residential amenity through overshadowing and overbearing impact, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
