Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Appeal B: the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Lake District National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site
What decided it
The proposal's detached location from the village settlement and the urbanising effect of the development would harm the character and appearance of the area and the landscape character of the National Park, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.
