Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
• The living conditions of future occupiers of the holiday unit, the occupiers of the host dwelling, and neighbouring residents, with particular regard to outlook, privacy, amenity space, and noise and disturbance

What decided it

The disproportionate scale and siting of the building relative to the modest accommodation proposed would create significant harm to character and appearance and to living conditions that conflicts with the development plan and cannot be outweighed by the limited benefits.

The limited benefits of modest tourism contribution and construction-phase activity did not outweigh the significant harms to character and appearance and living conditions arising from the disproportionate footprint and siting, resulting in conflict with the development plan taken as a whole.
