Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether this is a suitable location for the proposed development, considering local and national policies relating to tourist accommodation
- Whether the building is suitable for conversion, with particular regard to its use, construction, materials, design, and curtilage arrangement
- The effect of the development on highway safety, with particular regard to parking provision
What decided it
The existing nature of the building, its sensitive positioning, the absence of significant traffic generation, and adequate parking provision meant that despite some policy conflicts, no significant harm arose to outweigh the modest economic benefits of the proposal.
