Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would accord with the development plan in terms of its location, nature and justification for the same, and whether it would adequately promote sustainable patterns of travel
What decided it
The proposal's location in an isolated countryside hamlet, combined with its inability to promote a sustainable pattern of travel and lack of overriding justification for a countryside location, meant it conflicted with the development plan and the great weight of benefits did not justify permission contrary to the plan.
The great weight of economic benefits (new business, holiday accommodation, construction employment, local expenditure, sustainable building measures and biodiversity net gain) did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan arising from the unsustainable location and pattern of travel, and no other considerations justified permission contrary to the plan.
