Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on European designated habitats sites
  • whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposal having regard to the development plan and national policy
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including landscape character
  • whether the proposal would provide safe and suitable access

What decided it

The proposal has the potential to adversely affect the integrity of European designated habitats sites and cannot be adequately mitigated, combined with failure to meet the sequential test for tourism development and conflicts with the development plan on location, character and access grounds.
