Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would be in an appropriate location for the proposed development having particular regard to local and national policy
- whether or not the proposed development would deliver biodiversity net gain
What decided it
The appeal site's location in open countryside remote from services, facilities and sustainable transport options, combined with the absence of substantive justification for the out-of-settlement location, conflicts with local plan policies directing tourism development to identified settlements and requiring demonstration that development cannot be located within or adjacent to the built form of settlements.
