Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the location of the proposed development is appropriate, having regard to local planning policies on the location of holiday accommodation
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)

What decided it

The proposed development conflicts with the development plan's requirement that new holiday accommodation be located within built-up area boundaries and be accessible by sustainable transport, and would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the AONB.
