Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would fail to provide occupants of the proposed basement flat with acceptable levels of amenity due to the lack of natural light, ventilation and a reasonable outlook from the proposed kitchen and bedroom. This would be contrary to guidance in Paragraph 135(f) of the National Planning Policy Framework and Policy HP4 (Residential Amenity) of the Harrogate District Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
