The Stanley Arms

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT PERMISSION FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT in the manner described on the application and shown on the accompanying plans and drawings is REFUSED for the following reasons: 1. The application provides insufficient evidence to demonstrate that the public house is no longer required, can no longer be viable or that the facilities offered by the Stanley Arms would be reasonably available elsewhere in the vicinity. Furthermore, the application fails to demonstrate that alternative uses to meet community needs have been considered. The proposal is therefore contrary to Core Strategy policy HC4, Development management policy DMS2, and the National Planning Policy Framework. The loss of a valued community facility would fail to respect the statutory duty placed on the National Park Authority to address the social and economic needs of the National Park's communities contrary to policy GSP1 of the Core Strategy.

Stayed with the family for a night and it was an absolute pleasure. The service and food was great and the hosts did everything they could to make us feel at home. While there don't miss a stop at the Cat & Fiddle Distillery that is just up the hill for some gin and whiskey tasting.

Stayed for one night, really comfy bed and excellent sleep. Nice room and very clean. Great location after long hike. Good beer. Steak and Ale pie was delicious as was the huge breakfast the next day. Hosts couldn't do enough for you. Definitely stay there again and would recommend. Really good price
