Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the significance of designated heritage assets
  • the effect of the proposal on the amenity of users of nearby roads including public rights of way
  • the effect of the proposal on water quality
  • the effect of the proposal on air quality with particular regard to its effect on the North York Moors Special Area of Conservation (the SAC) and Special Protection Area (the SPA)

What decided it

The cumulative and significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, combined with heritage, amenity, water quality and air quality concerns, amounted to significant conflict with the development plan that was not outweighed by the proposal's economic benefits.

The public benefits of investment, job creation, economic contribution and food security did not outweigh the significant harm and development plan conflict found, so the balance tipped against the proposal.
