Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on local character
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the development proposed
What decided it
The appeal site is not an appropriate location for the development because the proposal would constitute holiday accommodation (C3 use) which must comply with stricter housing location policies requiring development to be directed towards existing settlements, and users would be largely reliant on private vehicles contrary to sustainability objectives, with no overriding locational need demonstrated for this specific location.
