Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the site would provide a suitable location for the proposed holiday let accommodation
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The site's location in isolated countryside where occupants would be predominantly dependent on private vehicles for accessing services, facilities and tourist attractions fails to accord with the locational requirements of Policy DEV15 and the sustainable development principles of the development plan, and this harm is not outweighed by the identified need for wheelchair accessible accommodation or modest economic benefits.
