Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development having regard to local and national planning policy
  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety

What decided it

The appeal site's unsustainable location outside settlement boundaries, combined with demonstrated harm to highway and pedestrian safety on narrow country lanes, outweighed the economic and social benefits of the holiday let proposal.
