Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would meet the exceptions for holiday accommodation sites, with particular regard to (i) the character and appearance of the area; and (ii) the viability of the business

What decided it

The proposal conflicted with development plan policies requiring holiday accommodation to deliver substantial public benefits outweighing harm to the open rural character and to be demonstrably viable in the long term, with neither criterion satisfied.

The limited public and economic benefits of the proposal did not outweigh the substantial harm to the open rural character and appearance of the countryside and the failure to demonstrate business viability.
