Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate the proposed holiday accommodation is justified in this countryside location

What decided it

The significant adverse visual impact on the rural character and appearance of the landscape was not outweighed by unsubstantiated tourism benefits, as the appellant failed to demonstrate sufficient demand or justification for the countryside location as required by policy DM22.
