Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would accord with the spatial strategy of the Development Plan, including in respect of the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would have adequate access to shops, services and facilities
What decided it
The proposal would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area by failing to be visually unobtrusive or well-related to the wider landscape, contrary to policy SWDP36, and this harm significantly and demonstrably outweighed the economic benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
the substantial harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the economic benefits of holiday accommodation provision and construction jobs
