Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would be acceptable having regard to local and national planning policies on the location of new tourism accommodation

What decided it

The appeal proposal fails to demonstrate that it provides sufficiently innovative or unusual accommodation that would genuinely widen and enhance the tourist offer of the area, as required by policies EC11 and EC6, because the sustainability and design measures cited are standard requirements for new development rather than exceptional features.
