Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would constitute good design and its effects on the character and appearance of the area and the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)

What decided it

The detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the area and the AONB through overdevelopment of a constrained site with a design that does not accord with local distinctiveness outweighed the limited social and environmental benefits of the scheme.
