The Local Planning Authority considers the proposal would not provide a type of recreational activity that would further the understanding of the National Park's special qualities, and would be likely to generate a level of noise and activity that would be detrimental to the amenities of local residents and the experience of visitors as well as harm the tranquillity of the area. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Core Policies A and H and Development Policies 3 and 14 of the NYM Local Development Framework.
The proposed new building would be isolated from existing development on the site and be substantial in size with poor quality materials and design. Consequently, in the view of the Local Planning Authority would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area contrary to Development Policies 12 and 13 of the North York Moors Local Development Framework.
In the view of the Local Planning Authority the proposed development would have an adverse impact on the enjoyment of users of the Public Rights of Way which run through the site, both in terms of noise and disturbance and public safety. The proposal is therefore contrary to Development Policy 23 of the NYM Local Development Framework.
The proposed development would be contrary to the provisions of Core Policy C of the North York Moors Local Development Framework and would conflict with the requirements of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (as amended) which state that permission cannot be granted for a development unless it can be ascertained that it will not adversely affect the integrity of a European site. As a result of the likely noise and activity levels inseparable from such a use, it has not been demonstrated the proposed development would not have an adverse impact on SPA birds on the adjacent North York Moors Special Protection Area (SPA) and adjacent SSSI.
