Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the supply of residential accommodation within the area
the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with specific regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The development causes unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance, which cannot be adequately controlled by the proposed Noise Management Plan or suggested conditions, and this harm outweighs the modest economic benefits of rural tourism.

Plan policies cited: Policy H5, Policy RT11, Policy ENV1

Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
