Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the integrity of European designated sites
- whether or not the accommodation would be of suitable quality for future occupiers having particular regard to light, outlook, privacy and storage for bicycles and waste
What decided it
The proposal would be likely to have significant adverse effects on the integrity of the Essex Coast European designated sites through increased recreational pressure, with no adequate mitigation mechanism in place, which is an overriding concern that cannot be outweighed by the limited benefits of the small-scale holiday accommodation.
