Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the appeal site would be suitable for tourism development
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The appeal site's remote location with poor accessibility to services and public transport, combined with the significant visual harm to the landscape character and AONB setting, meant the proposal failed to comply with development plan policies and NPPF requirements for sustainable tourism development.
