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.
