Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property, which is a Non Designated Heritage Asset (NDHA) and the surrounding area which is within The Ridings Area of Special Character (RASC)
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the host dwelling with regard to daylight and sunlight

What decided it

The considerable and unacceptable harm caused by the proposed outbuilding to the character and appearance of the host property and the RASC/NDHA, which materially detracts from the significance of the heritage asset, outweighs the moderate benefits of providing additional accommodation.
