Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether this is a suitable location for new housing, having regard to policies relating to the development strategy and the countryside
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cartmel Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development upon highway safety, with particular regard to visibility
What decided it
The proposal's location outside the settlement boundary in the countryside, combined with the failure to preserve or enhance the conservation area's character, outweighed the modest public benefits.
