Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to Wansfell Holme Grade II listed building, the Lake District National Park and the English Lake District World Heritage Site

What decided it

The absence of any defined significant public benefit to weigh against the less than substantial harm to the listed building's setting and the World Heritage Site's attributes of Outstanding Universal Value.

The less than substantial harm to the heritage assets was not outweighed by any demonstrated public benefits, and the balance tipped decisively against the proposal.
