- Inspector
- Hockenhull H
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal lies in an appropriate location for development having regard to national and local planning policy
- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the Grade I listed Skipton Castle and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Skipton Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal's location in open countryside outside the settlement boundary, combined with less than substantial but considerable harm to the setting of Skipton Castle and the character of the Conservation Area, which is not outweighed by the minimal public benefits of a single dwelling.
