Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether there is an essential need for a residential static caravan for a rural workers accommodation at the site
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate an essential need for a rural worker at the site, and the modest housing benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the planning harm of introducing residential use in the countryside without essential justification.
The modest housing supply benefit and limited economic and social benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the planning harm of residential use in the countryside without essential need, applying the tilted balance test under the Framework given the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
