Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the setting of the listed building, the Lake District National Park and the English Lake District World Heritage Site
What decided it
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the setting of the listed building and World Heritage Site, when weighed against the limited public benefits, was not justified under paragraph 202 of the NPPF.
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building and the World Heritage Site, when weighed against the limited public benefits of modest business diversification and 2 part-time jobs, did not justify the proposal; the great weight given to conservation of heritage assets in National Parks tipped the balance against the development.
