Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- For Appeal A: the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the listed building, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Harrogate Conservation Area
- For Appeal B: the effect of the advertisements on amenity
What decided it
The proposal's slim profile, modest footprint, and positioning within an already visually busy commercial street scene with established modern street furniture meant it would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed building.
