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.
