Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Knaresborough Conservation Area and whether the proposal would preserve the adjacent listed buildings, with particular regard to their setting
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring residential properties, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of designated heritage assets (the conservation area and two listed buildings) which was not outweighed by public benefits, and would adversely affect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook.

Framework references: 206, 207, 208
