Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location of the proposal would accord with the spatial strategy for the area in terms of the location of the dwelling
  • Whether there is an essential need for a rural worker to live at the site

What decided it

The proposal fails to demonstrate an essential need for a permanent rural workers dwelling to support the business, and the location conflicts with the spatial strategy for accommodating development within or adjoining settlements.

Even if the Council could not demonstrate a five-year housing supply, the contribution from a single dwelling would be minimal and the adverse impacts of granting permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.
