Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location in terms of access to services and facilities by a range of modes of travel

What decided it

The re-use of a redundant rural building as holiday accommodation (rather than permanent dwelling) qualified for the NPPF paragraph 80(c) exception and, combined with economic benefits and limited harm from the accessibility conflict, justified allowing the appeal despite the isolated location.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy EC4Policy INF7Policy SP2Policy EC3
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 80Paragraph 84Paragraph 104Paragraph 105
