Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the countryside
  • Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the development proposed

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to rural character and appearance and is located in an unsustainable position poorly served by public transport, contrary to development plan policies requiring tourist accommodation to be appropriately scaled and accessible to a range of transport modes.
