Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Clifftop Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring dwellings
  • whether a satisfactory standard of accommodation would be provided
  • the effect of the proposed development on mixed and balanced housing provision

What decided it

The less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the Clifftop Conservation Area, combined with significant harm to neighbouring amenity, outweighed the limited public benefits of the proposed holiday-let accommodation.
