Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is in a suitable location having regard to the spatial strategy of the development plan, and access to services and sustainable transport
- whether the development has an acceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development is acceptable in terms of highway safety
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three independent grounds—location and sustainability, character and appearance, and highway safety—and the material considerations do not indicate it should be decided other than in accordance with the development plan.
The moderate benefits of tourism development and economic activity do not outweigh the identified conflicts with the development plan on location, character and appearance, and highway safety.
