Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for new-build holiday accommodation, with particular regard to development plan policy and national planning policy

What decided it

The proposal constitutes an extension to an established existing business in a countryside location that would support the tourist and rural economy, with public benefits outweighing the less than substantial harm to the heritage setting, making it acceptable under NNCS Policy EC3 and Framework paragraph 215.
