Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would meet an identified local housing need with specific regard to affordable housing
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal fails to demonstrate a proven local need for affordable housing as required by the development plan and would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through incursion into open countryside within a national park.

The limited benefits of affordable housing provision and support for local services were outweighed by the failure to demonstrate local need and the significant harm to character and appearance in a national park setting.
