Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupants of Holly Beck Hall, with particular regard to overlooking and noise and activity

What decided it

The mature trees of Great Wood provide sufficient intervening features to prevent material harm to the living conditions of Holly Beck Hall occupants, and the woodland does not form part of the domestic curtilage requiring the same degree of protection as a formal garden.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy 6 of the Lake District National Park Local Plan 2020–2035 (2021)
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 127Paragraph 56

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.
