Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposal having regard to local and national policies on the location of tourism development
  • The effect of the proposal on the supply of family housing

What decided it

The proposal fails the sequential test for tourism development and would cause permanent loss of family housing contrary to the development plan, with no material considerations outweighing these harms.
