Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Harrogate Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed two-storey extension would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area's character and appearance by eroding the visual relief and established building line of the side garden area, and this harm could not be justified by the limited public benefits of additional residential amenity and economic benefits.
