- whether the development complies with development plan policies for the provision of housing within the National Park

What decided it
The proposed dwelling would be a dominant and incongruous structure more prominent on the skyline than the existing agricultural buildings, adversely affecting the character and appearance of the Conservation Area contrary to Policy L3 and paragraph 202 of the NPPF, with no public benefits to outweigh the harm.
