Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the development plan would support the use of the chalets for open market housing in this location
Whether or not the location and arrangements of the chalets would render them unsuitable for permanent residential occupation
The effect of the proposal on the Exe Estuary Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar Site and Dawlish Warren Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

What decided it

The proposal would conflict with the development plan strategy for countryside housing (Policy S22), would be poorly located for sustainable access to services and facilities, lacked evidence of acceptable living conditions regarding noise and air quality, and failed to secure appropriate habitat mitigation, cumulatively outweighing the moderate benefits of economic viability and housing supply.
