- Inspector
- Clowes M
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for housing having regard to the development plan
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area having regard to the appeal site's location within the Lake District National Park and the World Heritage Site
- Highway safety
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan spatial strategy by releasing greenfield land without demonstrated proportionally high housing need and would cause less than substantial harm to the World Heritage Site significance that cannot be outweighed by the public benefits.
