Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether a need for the development within a countryside and coastal location has been demonstrated
  • whether the location of the site is suitable for the development having regard to access by sustainable or active transport modes
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area including the SDNL, the Undeveloped Coast, tranquillity and dark landscapes

What decided it

The Inspector concluded that the café served a demonstrable functional need connected to the water-dependent boatyard and marina use and caused no material harm to the SDNL, tranquillity or dark landscapes, so the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole.
