Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed glamping pods, having particular regard to planning policies which seek to control new development in the countryside
  • the effect of the proposed glamping pods on the character and appearance of Dartmoor National Park

What decided it

The farm's financial vulnerability and the absence of suitable existing buildings for conversion, combined with the modest scale and visual containment of the glamping pods, justified the development under Policies 1.1 and 1.3 despite non-compliance with Policy 5.9.
