Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the condition is necessary to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Catterick Village Conservation Area
- the effect that varying the condition would have on the living conditions of the occupants of Hanby House, with particular reference to outlook
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, combined with unacceptable harm to neighbouring outlook, cannot be outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing a dwelling when the approved scheme would have delivered a similar outcome.

- Policy CP12Policy CP13Policy CP3Policy CP4
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
