Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development amounts to inappropriate residential encroachment in the open countryside, contrary to the spatial strategy of the National Park (Appeal A)
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the National Park landscape and on the setting of the Listed Building (Appeals A and B)
What decided it
The compelling and substantial weight given to the appellant's son's personal medical and social circumstances, combined with the temporary, reversible and mitigable nature of the identified harm, outweighed the conflict with the development plan and the great weight given to landscape and heritage harm.
The great weight attributed to landscape and heritage harm and conflict with the spatial strategy was outweighed by the substantial weight given to the appellant's son's personal circumstances and the temporary, mitigable and reversible nature of the harm, tipping the balance in favour of allowing both appeals.
