Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would accord with the strategy of the development plan for the location of tourist accommodation in the countryside
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the Cotswolds National Landscape
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring residential property, the Coach House, having regard to privacy and noise

What decided it

The proposal's failure to accord with the development plan strategy for locating tourist accommodation in settlements and the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the Cotswolds National Landscape outweighed the limited economic benefits.

the limited economic benefits of the holiday let use were outweighed by the identified conflict with the development plan and the associated harm to the character and appearance of the area and the Cotswolds National Landscape
