Zoning Contravention
Contrary to CDP objectives requiring tourism developments to locate within/adjacent to settlements, ensuring sustainability, and prohibiting holiday homes/static caravans in the Mountain Uplands AONB. Applicant failed to justify need in a pristine rural landscape.
CDP 2016-2022, Objectives T2, T3, T4, T6 (Mountain Uplands AONB)The applicant has failed to adequately justify a need for the development at this location.
Design
Poor design quality contrary to CDP highest standards requirement. Proposed cabins resemble static mobile homes, existing units labelled as mobile homes on drawings, external finishes not detailed. Demolition of stone buildings loses farmyard character.
