Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the significance of the Alton and Farley Conservation Area and whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the Grade II Listed buildings known as Nabb Cottage and Paradise Farm
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The substantial harm to character and appearance of the area combined with unacceptable impact on neighbouring living conditions through noise and disturbance outweighed the modest tourism benefits.
