Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area and whether the development would conserve the landscape and scenic beauty of the South Devon National Landscape
- The effect on the living conditions of existing and proposed residents
- Whether the accommodation to be delivered accords with the strategy for the District
- The impact on the natural environment
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the intensity and form of the proposed development, combined with unacceptable impacts on the living conditions of neighbouring residents and inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, outweighs the economic and environmental benefits of the scheme.
