Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable for the proposal, bearing in mind the policies of the development plan, the accessibility of services, and its effect on the character and appearance of the countryside

What decided it

The site's poor accessibility by sustainable transport modes and reliance on private vehicles means the scale of the 23-pitch proposal is not commensurate with the restricted level of accessibility, contrary to the development plan policies.
