Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would result in an unacceptable loss of a community facility
- the effect of the proposal on protected species
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the PDNP, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Great Longstone Conservation Area and the effect on a non-designated heritage asset (NDHA)
What decided it
The proposal would result in the unacceptable loss of a community facility without adequate evidence of marketing or demonstration that the facility is no longer needed or viable, conflicting with CS Policy HC4 and DMP Policy DMS2.
