Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Kettlewell Conservation Area and its effect upon the significance of a non-designated heritage asset
  • the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby premises, with particular regard to privacy and overshadowing
  • the effect of the proposal upon biodiversity and protected species, with particular regard to bats

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset (Conservation Area) and non-designated heritage asset, combined with harm to the special qualities of the National Park, outweighed the limited public benefit of improved accommodation.
