Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers

What decided it

The proposal's siting, design and materials would create an incongruous feature detrimental to character and appearance, and the intensive use as holiday accommodation would result in unacceptable noise and disruption to neighbouring occupiers' living conditions, with these harms outweighing modest economic benefits.
