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 proposal for holiday accommodation, rather than permanent housing, can be assessed under tourism policy rather than housing policy, and the site's sufficient accessibility to services and facilities by multiple transport modes combined with the small scale and high-quality design that would be visually indiscernible within the existing farm complex justified allowing the appeal.
