Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the site for tourism accommodation purposes accords with local and national policies with regards to the accessibility of local services and facilities minimising the need to travel by private transport
- Whether the proposed development makes adequate provision for foul sewage treatment
What decided it
The location would necessitate reliance on private vehicle use with no viable alternatives to access services and facilities, conflicting with development plan policies requiring sustainable transport and adequate foul sewage provision was not formally secured.
