Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the local housing strategy; and if not, whether there are any other considerations that justify a decision otherwise than in accordance with the development plan

What decided it

The site's location outside defined settlements in open countryside conflicts with the local housing strategy central to the National Park's purposes, and no material considerations individually or cumulatively outweigh this fundamental conflict with the development plan.
