Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site would represent a suitable location for the proposal with regard to the spatial strategy for the plan area
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan spatial strategy by locating tourism development in an unsustainable location outside settlement limits without sufficient economic benefits to justify the harm to rural character and appearance.
The limited economic benefits of the proposal do not outweigh the identified harm to the spatial strategy and character and appearance of the area.
