Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposal would be in a suitable location, with regard to local and national policies for housing
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the Lake District National Park

What decided it

The substantial adverse effect on the character and appearance of the Lake District National Park landscape, caused by the scale of ground works and retaining structures required, outweighed the benefits of affordable housing provision and location suitability.

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the local landscape and the Lake District National Park was not outweighed by the suitability of the location for rural exception development, the contribution to delivery of affordable and local occupancy housing, and economic benefits, even when taken together.
