Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the loss of the tourist accommodation on the rural economy
- whether the site represents an appropriate location for housing with unrestricted occupancy having particular regard to accessibility to facilities and services
What decided it
The harm to the rural economy through loss of viable holiday let accommodation and the unsustainable location of the proposed unrestricted housing significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
the identified adverse impacts of the development (loss of holiday lets and unsustainable location) significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits (housing supply and personal circumstances) when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, such that the proposal did not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development
