- Gethin T
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, with particular regard to development plan policies in relation to need and accessibility
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The appeal site comprises previously developed land from an approved equestrian scheme already commenced, and the modest holiday accommodation would generate fewer vehicle movements than the extant scheme while supporting and complementing existing rural businesses, which material considerations the Inspector found outweighed the development plan conflict.
Plan policies cited: Policy TTV26, Policy DEV15, Policy DEV29, Policy STP1, Policy SPT2, Policy TTV1, Policy TTV2, Policy DEV32, Policy DEV20, Policy DEV23
