Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposal, with specific regard to the Council's development strategy and tranquillity of the countryside and South Devon National Landscape
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The appeal site's location outside the settlement boundary in a tier 4 countryside location within the Undeveloped Coast makes it unsuitable for the proposal under the Council's development strategy, notwithstanding the absence of harm to tranquillity or neighbouring living conditions.
