Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the appeal site is a suitable location for residential development
the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)

What decided it

The proposal would be located in an isolated position outside any settlement boundary and would cause significant adverse visual impact on the character and appearance of the Nidderdale AONB, to which great weight must be attached, with no material considerations outweighing these harms.

The adverse impacts of granting planning permission, including conflict with the development plan and Framework and significant harm to the AONB character and appearance, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited or no-weight benefits cited by the appellant.
