Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is in a suitable location for the development proposed having regard to local and national policies
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the integrity of European sites

What decided it

Material considerations including the Framework's support for farm diversification and rural tourism, combined with the modest scale of the proposal and its proximity to visitor attractions, outweighed the development plan conflict with the settlement location requirement.
