Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is an acceptable location for the proposed development having regard to the development plan policies and the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the landscape and the pastoral qualities of the National Park, conflicting with development plan policies that require the highest level of protection for landscape, and no convincing case for the necessity of the development in this location was demonstrated.
