Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed amendment falls within the scope of the previously approved development
  • whether the proposal would be unacceptable without a plans condition
  • whether it is necessary and reasonable to limit the occupation and ownership of the cattery and the ability to sell and/or let the main farmhouse

What decided it

The proposed creation of a new dwelling within the cattery building would alter the operative description of the previously approved development and therefore falls outside the powers of Section 73 of the Planning Act.

Framework references: 56

Plan policies cited: Policy CS01, Policy DM6
