Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be safe for future occupiers, having regard to the risk of flooding
  • The effect of the proposal on trees

The location is not suitable for new holiday accommodation as it lacks sustainable transport accessibility and the appellants failed to demonstrate either farm diversification or a demonstrable need for accommodation in this isolated rural location.
