Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development having regard to national and local planning policies in respect of tourist development
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on trees
- the effect of the development on biodiversity
What decided it
The appeal site is not an appropriate location for tourist development as it fails to demonstrate a need for a rural location, lacks accessibility to local services, and would cause harmful erosion of woodland character and appearance and further detriment to protected trees.
Plan policies cited: Policy GS3, Policy GS5, Policy EC7, Policy HP3, Policy HP5, Policy NE4, Policy NE7, Policy NE3
