Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway and pedestrian safety

What decided it

The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the historic settlement through removal of important dry-stone wall and hedgerow features, and would prejudice highway and pedestrian safety, with no considerations outweighing the development plan conflict.
