Government inspector Chris Baxter has ordered Hambleton District Council to pay developer James Baker the full costs of his appeal against the authority’s planning committee refusing a move to build four homes on land east of the former Shorthorn Inn at Appleton Wiske.

Last summer, going against the recommendation of its planning officers, the planning committee concluded the location, scale and form of development would have a harmful impact on the character and appearance of the village.

Council’s rejection of housing development branded ‘unreasonable behaviour’
