Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed development on the biodiversity of the area, with particular regard to the North Pennine Moors Special Protection Area (SPA), the North Pennine Moors Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Moor House Upper Teasdale SAC and the Appleby Fells Site of Special Scientific interest (SSSI) and Lune Forest SSSI
- the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the North Pennines National Landscape (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty)
What decided it
The absence of adequate evidence to demonstrate through a Habitats Regulations Assessment that the proposal would not adversely affect the integrity of the designated habitats sites, combined with significant landscape harm to a nationally designated landscape.
