Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that varying the condition would have on the character and appearance of the area, including the non-designated heritage asset; and whether the adverse impacts of approving the variation of condition would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits

What decided it

The permanent retention of the cabin would result in moderate harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the non-designated heritage asset that is not justified by the limited benefits.
