Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed holiday let accommodation would be in a suitable location with respect to local and national policies
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the River Camel Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
What decided it
The proposal lacks an overriding locational or business need to justify its remote countryside location, conflicting with development plan policies on sustainable rural tourism and settlement hierarchy, and would cause demonstrable harm to landscape character and appearance.
