Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the changed use of the existing vehicular access point and of the track, along with associated works, upon the character and appearance of the countryside and the Woodhouse Eaves Conservation Area
What decided it
The minimal visual impact of the residential use of the track due to its limited visibility, combined with the conservation area benefits from removal of one access point and new native hedgerow planting, outweighed any concerns about the change of use.
