Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development with regard to the local development strategy and the effect on the landscape and scenic beauty of the South Devon National Landscape
  • the effect of the proposal on biodiversity

What decided it

The proposal would extend an unnatural hard-surfaced feature into the rural landscape contrary to the requirement to conserve and enhance the landscape and scenic beauty of the South Devon National Landscape, and fails to meet the local development strategy for countryside development.
