Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the Lake District National Park
  • Oakland as a non-designated heritage asset
  • The Windermere Conservation Area

What decided it

The erection of a two-storey dwelling would cause significant and irreversible harm to the designed landscape setting of Oakland and the historic settlement pattern of the Windermere Conservation Area within the Lake District National Park, which could not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of the scheme.
