Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the site would be acceptable for visitor accommodation, having particular regard to the provisions of the development plan and the accessibility to local services and facilities
What decided it
The location fails to meet the settlement hierarchy objectives and lacks accessibility by sustainable modes of transport, conflicting with Policies STRAT 1, STRAT 2, STRAT 9, ECON3, DM9 and DM10.
The limited economic benefits and employment opportunities did not outweigh the harm caused by the conflict with the development plan and the unsustainable location.

- Policy STRAT 1Policy STRAT 2Policy STRAT 9Policy ECON3Policy DM 9Policy DM 10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 105
