Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the landscape and scenic beauty of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
- Whether the site would be sustainably located with regards to development plan policy
What decided it
The proposal would harm the landscape and scenic beauty of the AONB through its design and siting, and would not represent a sustainably located rural tourism proposal, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh that conflict.
The limited economic benefits and demand for the proposal did not outweigh the harm to the AONB and conflict with development plan policy.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GS6Policy NE4Policy EC7
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 172
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
