Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether it has been sufficiently demonstrated that the holiday let use is not viable
  • Whether the appeal location is sustainable for permanent residential occupation

What decided it

The proposal would conflict with the up-to-date development plan policies GC2 and H2, which restrict permanent residential development outside settlement boundaries, and there were no material considerations sufficient to justify a decision contrary to the development plan.

No balancing exercise was undertaken; the proposal was found to conflict with up-to-date development plan policies with no material considerations to justify departure from the plan.
