Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal is functionally required for forestry
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the woodland with regard to its location within the PDNP
- Whether the proposal is a suitable location for recreational use
- The effect of the proposal on trees within the site
What decided it
The existence of a previous building on the site as a material consideration, combined with the finding that the development with conditions would not harm the character and appearance of the PDNP or conflict with its conservation aims, outweighed the policy conflict with DME1.
