The Local Planning Authority does not consider there is a genuine overriding need for an isolated structure to support wildlife in this location 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 masonry tower, whether for providing shelter for wildlife or any other use is not considered to be a necessity for this secluded location. The proposed tower does not respect local building tradition or design and in combination with its scale and isolated position, if permitted would have an unacceptably harmful impact on the character and setting of this part of the National Park landscape which is not characterised by isolated field barns/structures. 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 of the NYM Local Development Framework.
