Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the site would provide a suitable location for the proposed holiday let use
  • whether or not the proposal would incorporate satisfactory on-site low carbon or renewable energy systems

What decided it

The site's poor accessibility by foot or bicycle to local facilities, rights of way, and cycle routes means it would not provide a suitable location for sustainable rural tourism development as required by the Local Plan.
