Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regard to disturbance
- parking provision and highway safety
- the integrity and relevant features of the Durham Coast Special Area of Conservation, the Northumbria Coast Special Protection Area, and the Northumbria Coast Ramsar Site
What decided it
The development would not harm the character of the area or living conditions of neighbouring residents, would not create unacceptable parking or highway impacts, and would not adversely affect the integrity of the European protected sites when considered against the Council's strategic mitigation approach.
