Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether deletion or variation of condition 3 of planning permission 3/2008/0104 would result in an unsustainable form of development
What decided it
The site's location in a countryside area with no public transport or local services, making permanent residential use unsustainable and contrary to Core Strategy policy DMH3.
The balance between providing adequate time for the appellant to secure alternative accommodation and securing a remedy to the breach of planning control as soon as reasonably possible, struck at six months.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CS policy DMH3
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
