The tier sentence ¶7

“suitable access to local services and facilities”

Summary

An appeal to convert a former piggery in open countryside near Tintagel to a single holiday cottage was dismissed. The inspector applied the August 2026 Framework without a separate consultation round, as the issues were already in play. The site was car-dependent, the appellant did not show a countryside location was necessary for the tourism use (S5(1)(b)), and the building was not shown to be capable of conversion without, in effect, rebuilding (S5(1)(c)).

The location finding

TR3: fail. narrow unlit lanes without footways; bus every two hours, Mon-Sat only; visitors at least as car-dependent as residents (DL 7-8, 10-11, 27)

Why this is cited
