Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for holiday lodges, with adequate access to facilities and services
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding rural area
What decided it
The proposal would materially harm the distinctive character and beauty of the local landscape and would have an uncharacteristic urbanising impact on the appeal site in an unsustainably located position, which harm substantially outweighs the economic and social benefits.
The economic benefits of employment and tourism provision, together with biodiversity net gains, were substantially outweighed by material harm to landscape character, appearance and rural beauty, the urbanising effect on the site, and the unsustainable location requiring reliance on private vehicles.
