Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would accord with the leisure and business tourism strategy for new visitor accommodation
The effect of the proposal on the character of the area and the living conditions of nearby residents, with regards to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan's leisure and business tourism strategy by locating holiday accommodation outside designated areas, and causes demonstrable harm to neighbouring residents' living conditions through noise and disturbance, with no material considerations to override the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS21, Policy CS7, Policy DM36, Policy DM27

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
