Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the supply of tourist accommodation
  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development having regard to the accessibility of services

What decided it

The moderate harm caused by the location of the proposed dwelling outside the settlement boundary and reliance on private vehicles, combined with the limited harm from loss of tourist accommodation, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of one dwelling, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.

The moderate harm from location and private vehicle reliance and limited harm from loss of tourist accommodation significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery and improved tranquillity, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
