Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- The effect of the proposed development on flooding and drainage
What decided it
The moderate-level less than substantial harm to the significance of the Escrick Conservation Area, to which great weight must be given, was not outweighed by the modest housing and other benefits of the proposal.
The moderate-level less than substantial harm to the conservation area, given great weight, was not outweighed by the modest economic, social and environmental benefits including the provision of 8 dwellings to housing supply.
