Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed pods would appear as isolated and incongruous built features prominently visible from the public footpath, causing unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area that cannot be outweighed by the minimal tourism benefits.

The minimal economic benefit of two glamping pods to tourism and local economy does not outweigh the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area.
