Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding landscape having regard to the site's location in the Dartmoor National Park
- whether there is a proven functional need for the proposed building which cannot be met by an existing building
What decided it
The proposed building would cause harmful effects on the character and appearance of the Dartmoor National Park landscape by appearing as an isolated development separated from existing building clusters, combined with the failure to demonstrate a proven functional need that could not be met by existing buildings.
