Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is a suitable location having regard to access to shops and services, and the development strategy
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The established principle of holiday home use at the site combined with the nature of static holiday homes as temporary rural tourism accommodation justified the location and expansion, and the visual impact would be minimal given existing screening and the mixed character of the surrounding landscape.
