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.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy LE13
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 85
