Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is in an appropriate location
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character of the area, including the protected landscape of the National Park
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan by introducing new visitor accommodation outside defined villages without meeting policy exceptions, and would cause significant harm to the character and protected landscape of the National Park, with limited economic benefits insufficient to outweigh this harm.
