Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Pool in Wharfedale Conservation Area
What decided it
The considerable scale and mass of the proposed dormer window would dominate the rear roof slope and fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Pool in Wharfedale Conservation Area, contrary to section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
The public benefits arising from the development (renewable energy use and extension of an existing building) did not outweigh the considerable importance and weight given to the harm to the conservation area as a designated heritage asset.
