Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the removal of condition 15 on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, having regard to noise, light and general disturbance impacts
- The effect of the removal of condition 15 on the landscape and scenic beauty of the National Park, with particular regard to lighting impacts
- The effect of the removal of condition 15 on the natural environment of the National Park, with particular regard to animal safety
What decided it
The significant harm to neighbouring living conditions and the National Park's landscape and scenic beauty, particularly from noise and light pollution during winter months, could not be justified by the modest economic benefits of year-round holiday occupancy.
