Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development is suitably located having regard to relevant development plan policies concerning tourism and visitor uses

What decided it

The development is not suitably located for tourism use in a remote rural location where visitors would be dependent on private cars, contrary to development plan policies requiring sustainable tourism development with functional linkage to countryside attractions or justification that the use could not reasonably be located at larger settlements such as Burford or Carterton.
