Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed use on the landscape of the Lake District National Park, a designated World Heritage Site
  • Whether adequate information has been submitted to assess the proposal's effect on a Priority Habitat

What decided it

The harm to the landscape and scenic beauty of the Lake District National Park World Heritage Site, to which great weight must be given, was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the proposal.

The modest public benefits to tourism and the local rural economy did not outweigh the less-than-substantial harm to the World Heritage Site, to which great weight was given.
