Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the use of Hadrians Garden Villa for residential purposes with regard to the development plan and other considerations
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the holiday accommodation proposed would be acceptably located having regard to the requirements of the development plan
What decided it
The proposal would conflict with the development plan by creating an isolated residential development in the open countryside without meeting the essential need test in Policy HOU8, and would harm character and appearance through visually uncomfortable buildings that do not reflect local traditions.
Framework references: 84
Plan policies cited: Policy STP1, Policy HOU8, Policy QOP1, Policy QOP2, Policy QOP4, Policy ENV1, Policy ENV3, Policy ECN13, Policy ECN15
