Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and upon the surrounding area
- The effect upon the living conditions of the occupiers of White Stack, having particular regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the National Park and would detrimentally impact the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overlooking and overbearing effects, contrary to the development plan with no material considerations indicating otherwise.
The benefits of modernisation and energy efficiency improvements were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the National Park and the detrimental impact on neighbouring living conditions.
