Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for tourist accommodation with regards to local and national planning policy

What decided it

The proposal's compliance with national policy supporting sustainable rural tourism and diversification of rural businesses, combined with the absence of unacceptable harm to character and appearance, outweighed the conflict with the overly restrictive policy SP2A(c).

The benefits of sustainable diversification of a rural tourism business and compliance with national policy on rural economy outweighed the conflict with the restrictive local policy SP2A(c), which the Inspector found did not reflect the Framework.
