Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location having regard to the development plan's spatial strategy and national policies
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The appeal site's remote rural location would make future visitors heavily reliant on private motor vehicles for access to services and facilities, conflicting with the development plan's spatial strategy and national policy objectives to promote sustainable transport.
