Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the development upon the character of the area, including the Northumberland Coast National Landscape, with particular regard to tranquillity

What decided it

The modest scale of the change of use from residential dwelling to holiday accommodation, combined with the village-centre location where built development is established and existing parking controls, means the development does not harmfully affect the character of the area or the tranquillity of the National Landscape.
