Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the North Devon National Landscape

What decided it

The cramped spatial arrangement of the proposed dwelling in relation to the existing High Tide property would harm the open and spacious character of the area and conflict with policies requiring development to conserve and enhance the North Devon National Landscape.
