Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the occupation of the units as live-work units for candidates attending residential training courses at The Beeches should be subject to a time limitation
What decided it
The Inspector's conclusion that a time limit on live-work occupation remained necessary to prevent unsustainable permanent residential use, though the existing condition wording needed correction for precision and reasonableness.
The benefits of the courses and live-work arrangement did not outweigh the need to retain a time limit to prevent unsustainable, effectively permanent residential occupation in an unsustainable countryside location; the appeal succeeded only to the extent of correcting the condition's imprecise wording, not removing the time limit.
