Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for new housing having regard to development plan policy
- The effect on the landscape and scenic beauty of the National Park
- Whether the proposal would meet identified local housing need requirements
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan and the statutory purposes of the National Park by expanding the village into open countryside and causing demonstrable harm to landscape and scenic beauty, with no material considerations to outweigh this conflict.
The harms to landscape and scenic beauty and conflict with the development plan strategy for housing location outweighed the limited social and economic benefits and housing need considerations.
