Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not it is appropriate to remove condition 6 that restricts occupancy of the dwelling to the stud farm use of the site

What decided it

The absence of substantive evidence demonstrating that there was no continuing demand or potential for the stud farm use to resume meant the occupancy condition still served a necessary planning purpose.

Framework references: 80

Plan policies cited: Policy ENV1, Policy RS5, Policy E11, Policy ST3, Policy DM12, Policy DM14, Policy DM24
