Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Guiseley Conservation Area
- the living conditions of the future occupiers of the scheme with particular regard to privacy
- the effect of the scheme on Biodiversity Net Gain
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, overshadowing and privacy
What decided it
The proposed development would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Guiseley Conservation Area through its discordant design, materials and appearance, and this harm was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
