®Planning appeal decision
Land at Powlers Piece, East Putford , Devon, EX22 7XW
siting of a holiday rental shepherd's hut on the area where there used to be a polytunnel. This part of the land does not have any trees on it and is therefore the ideal area to site the hut. The hut would be suitable for couples holiday rental and would sleep two people. The land would only ever house a single unit making it a more desirable holiday rental

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site would provide an appropriate location for the proposed holiday accommodation, with particular regard to accessibility of services having regard to the policies set out in the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework that seek to restrict development in the countryside and minimise the need to travel by private car.
What decided it
The appeal site would not provide an appropriate location for holiday accommodation due to its inaccessibility by sustainable transport modes and the resulting reliance on private car travel, conflicting with policies that restrict countryside development and minimise the need to travel by private car.
Framework references: 85
