Reasons 1

The Local Planning Authority does not consider there is a genuine overriding need for an isolated structure to support the function of the Grosmont Estate or for any other reason in the public interest. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that there is a presumption in favour of sustainable development however the proposed shelter whether for fishing or any other use is not considered to be a necessity for this remote location. Together with its excessive scale and design if permitted it would have an unacceptable and harmful impact on the character and setting of this tranquil part of the River Esk and on the National Park landscape. As such the Authority considers there is insufficient justification to outweigh the harm from isolated structures such as this and to prevent the incremental spread of inappropriate development in the National Park. The development is not considered to be a sustainable development in line with the National Planning Policy Framework and is not deemed to be in accordance with Core Policy A and Development Policy 3 of the NYM Local Development Framework.
