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.
Framework references: 84, 85, 176
