Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location for sustainable tourist accommodation
What decided it
The absence of demonstration that the proposal would reduce private vehicle usage or make the location more sustainable, combined with the site's distance from services and lack of public transport, meant the development conflicted with Policy LE13 and paragraph 85 of the Framework.
The limited economic benefits of the development would not outweigh the conflict with the Council's spatial strategy for directing development to locations which benefit from a range of transport options to support sustainable rural tourism.
Framework references: 85
Plan policies cited: Policy LE13
