Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect that varying the conditions would have on the relationship between the holiday lodges and existing golf centre and on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed variation would significantly weaken the essential link with the golf centre and cause unmitigated harm to the character and appearance of the area through loss of an important hedgerow, conflicting with Policies LP7, LP17 and LP26 of the development plan.
The benefits of the proposed access and lodge development did not outweigh the harm to the relationship between the lodges and golf centre and the significant harm to character and appearance caused by loss of the important hedgerow.
Plan policies cited: Policy LP7, Policy LP17, Policy LP26, LP13
