Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be located within a suitable location, having regard to the settlement hierarchy of Fenland
  • the effect of the proposed development upon the character of the area and the wider landscape

What decided it

NPPF Paragraph 89 support for rural tourism development, combined with the Inspector's finding that visual and landscape impacts would be very limited, outweighed the conflict with Policies LP3 and LP6 on locational grounds.

the conflict with the settlement hierarchy policies LP3 and LP6 was outweighed by NPPF Paragraph 89 support for rural tourism uses and the absence of significant landscape, visual or residential amenity harm, tipping the balance in favour of allowing the appeal

Framework references: 89

Plan policies cited: Policy LP3, Policy LP6, Policy LP16
