Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding landscape with regard to the SDNP
  • whether the appeal site location is appropriate for a holiday let and the appeal building appropriate for conversion, with regard to the relevant development plan policies, LP Policies SD23 and SD41

What decided it

The proposal fails to comply with the development plan policies SD23 and SD41 because the location is not well-related to public transport, no sequential assessment was submitted to justify visitor accommodation as the most appropriate use, and the development would not enhance the natural beauty of the SDNP as required by the statutory purposes of the National Park.
