Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, antisocial behaviour and pollution
What decided it
The material adverse effect on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties through noise and disturbance from holiday lodge activities, which could not be adequately mitigated or enforced, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate tourism and economic benefits.
The adverse effects of noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents, to which significant weight was attributed, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits arising from tourism, leisure, economic growth and agricultural diversification, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
