Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development proposed having regard to the local and national policies with particular regard to need and access to services and facilities
- The effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the effect of the development on trees
- The effect of the proposed development on the integrity of River Wensum and the Broads Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) and other European Sites
What decided it
The proposal fails on all three main issues: lack of demonstrable site-specific demand for tourist accommodation, unacceptable harm to character and appearance, and likely significant adverse effects on European protected sites without adequate mitigation.
