Reasons 1

The wider chalet and caravan site proposed development by reason of the retention of the prominent unattractive brick quarry building as a meeting room would have an undermining effect and dilute the character and appearance of the ongoing restoration of this former quarry to a more natural form and detract from the Authority's agreed landscape restoration plan which sets a vision for an attractive landform and landscape post quarrying. As such the proposal would be contrary to the provisions of Core Policy A, Development Policies 8, 14 and Development Policy 16 of the NYM Core Strategy taken together which, amongst other things, retain traditional buildings which make an important contribution to the quality and character of the landscape, together with seeking to ensure development conserves and enhances the wider landscape of the Park, special qualities of the Park and avoids damage to the landscape.
