Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed buildings or their setting, known as Park Gate House and the Gate Lodge and Gate Piers to Park Gate House, and any features of special architectural or historic interest which they possess and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Guiseley Conservation Area including from any effects of the proposal on trees
- Whether the proposed development makes adequate provision for Biodiversity Net Gain
- Whether future occupiers of the proposed development would have acceptable living conditions with particular reference to outlook, light and external amenity space
- The effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property with particular reference to overlooking
What decided it
The less than substantial but nevertheless great weight harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets (the listed buildings and conservation area) was not outweighed by the small public benefits of the proposal, and clear and convincing justification for the harm had not been provided.
