Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, in particular, the Forest of Bowland National Landscape
- Whether the development would be at an unacceptable risk of flooding or exacerbate flooding elsewhere
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of nearby dwellings, with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
No harm was found on any of the three main issues (character and appearance, flood risk, or living conditions), all of which were resolved through amendment of the description and planning conditions.
with no harm identified on the main issues and the proposal supported by policies encouraging tourism development, the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole and the appeal was allowed
