Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the provisions of local and national policy and the accessibility of services and facilities

What decided it

The proposal's conformity with the development plan taken as a whole, particularly the spatial and economic strategies promoting sustainable tourism in rural settlements with good accessibility to services, outweighed the conflict with Policy P5.5 regarding conversion of redundant historic buildings.
