Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of varying the condition upon the character and appearance of the area, including the North York Moors National Park

What decided it

The uncharacteristic large gap between the top of front elevation window openings and roof eaves, which is discordant with the strong local character regarding fenestration treatment, causes harm to the character and appearance of the area and the National Park that cannot be outweighed by other considerations.
