Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the Scarborough Conservation Area
  • highway safety

What decided it

The timber materials and commercial leisure use of the decking were consistent with the existing property and surrounding area, and a condition could secure the balustrade's appearance, preserving the Conservation Area's character.

The benefits of the additional seating area for the commercial use were not outweighed by any harm to the Conservation Area's character and appearance, which the development preserves.
