Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Local Needs Occupancy Condition is necessary and reasonable having regard to Development Plan policy for the location of housing

What decided it

The appellant failed to provide up-to-date evidence (current valuation, appropriate marketing reflecting the restriction, or evidence that renting to a qualifying occupant was impossible) to demonstrate that the Local Needs Occupancy Condition was no longer applicable, and the property was currently fulfilling the condition's purpose.

The conflict with Policies SP1, SP2 and SP21 of the Local Plan Strategy outweighed any material considerations favouring removal of the condition.
