Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for new dwellings
  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The extant permission for holiday accommodation providing 7 rooms established a fallback position that would generate comparable vehicular movements and highway impacts, making the proposed dwellings acceptable despite the site's reliance on private motor vehicles.
