Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development conserves and enhances the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the National Park
- whether the appeal site is in an appropriate location for housing, having regard to the development plan
- whether any harm arising in relation to the first two main issues is justified by the appellant's personal circumstances
What decided it
The appellant's exceptional personal circumstances, including age, disability, health issues, and severely constrained housing options, were given very substantial weight and clearly outweighed the identified conflict with the development plan.
