Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is in a suitable location for the tourism accommodation, having regard to local policy for development in the countryside

What decided it

The change of use fails to satisfy Policy S5 criterion (a) as the location is not justified to maintain or enhance the rural economy nor by proximity to existing established businesses or natural features, with visitor spend directed to distant urban centres rather than supporting the local rural economy.
