North Yorkshire Council has approved plans to demolish two outbuildings on Knaresborough’s famous waterside to facilitate a housing extension.
The three-storey property is in a prominent location on Waterside Road, which runs along the banks of the river Nidd and is a popular walking route for tourists. The owner of the home stated in planning documents that the outbuildings connected to it are in a poor state of repair and block sunlight from the rear windows. They asked the council for permission to demolish them to add a new two-storey extension to their home.
A third application was submitted earlier this year which the developer said addressed the previous reasons for refusal. It said the design had been scaled back to reduce its impact on the neighbouring properties and the wider Knaresborough Conservation Area. Documents added: “The design aesthetic has been paired down in the latest proposal, removing the larger contemporary elements found in the previous applications.
