Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal accords with local policies that seek to direct tourism-related developments of a scale appropriate to the accessibility of their location
- whether the location of the proposal would be acceptable having regard to the risk of flooding
- the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the loss of trees
- the effects of the proposal on the biodiversity value of the area
What decided it
The proposal's primary access route is located within high-risk flood zones and the appellant failed to undertake or evidence a sequential test to demonstrate no reasonable alternative sites in lower flood risk areas exist.
Plan policies cited: Policy 5, Policy 2, Policy 16, Policy 26, Policy 12, Policy 23
