Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether Condition 2 is reasonable in the interests of defining the extent of the Permission
  • the effect that removing or varying the condition to encompass the alleged breaches of Condition 2 and/or the unauthorised works would have on the character and appearance of the locality, the historic environment, highway safety and the statutory purpose of the Yorkshire Dales National Park

What decided it

The nature and extent of the unauthorised engineering works caused significant adverse change to the rural character and landscape setting of the former chapel in a National Park of the highest protection, conflicting with development plan policies and statutory purposes.

Framework references: 56, 177

Plan policies cited: Policy ENV2, Policy ENV10, Policy RUR3, Policy UENDP1
