Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and landscape of the countryside, including on the setting of the North York Moors National Park

What decided it

The proposed extension would be relatively exposed and visually prominent, appearing incongruous within the open rural landscape and having an unacceptable impact on the perceptual qualities of the North York Moors National Park for its receptors, contrary to Policy EG8 criterion d) and Framework Paragraph 176.

No balancing exercise was undertaken; the conflict with the development plan was not outweighed by any other material considerations.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy EG8Policy S5Policy E6Policy E7Policy S3
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 84Paragraph 85Paragraph 176
