Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location of the appeal site would be suitable for tourism development
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The appeal site's poor accessibility to services and public transport, combined with the inappropriate scale and domestic character of the proposed building within a valued landscape, meant the development failed to accord with the development plan's requirements for sustainable, well-located tourism facilities.
