Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for tourist holiday accommodation with regard to local and national policies
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety with particular regard to pedestrian, cyclist and vehicle conflict
What decided it
The small-scale nature of the proposal and its benefits to farm diversification and the local economy outweighed the strict application of policies requiring development to be located in accessible settlements, particularly where remoteness can be an attraction for rural holiday accommodation.
