- Inspector
- Symmons J
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development, having regard to the development plan and other material considerations
- the effect the proposed development would have on the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring properties with regard to noise, nuisance and general disturbance
- the effect the proposed development would have on the Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast Special Protection Area and Ramsar Site with regard to whether the scheme would achieve nutrient neutrality
What decided it
The proposal would not represent a sustainable tourism development and would significantly harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through noise and disturbance, which would not be outweighed by the identified moderate benefits.
