Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal development is an appropriate form of development, having regard to its location and its accordance with the spatial strategy of the development plan
- The effect of the development on the South Devon National Landscape and the Undeveloped Coast policy area
What decided it
The appeal development conflicts with policy TTV26(2) of the Joint Local Plan as it does not respond to a proven agricultural, forestry and other occupational need that requires a countryside location, and fails to demonstrate exceptional circumstances required by policy DEV24 for development in the Undeveloped Coast area.

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
