Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether condition 2 is necessary and reasonable to restrict the occupation of the property to holiday purposes having regard to the accessibility of the development to services and facilities

What decided it

The property's isolated location in the open countryside, remote from services and facilities, would make permanent residential use unsustainable and contrary to the development plan and Framework, and this harm is not outweighed by the small contribution to housing supply given the Council's demonstrated five-year housing land supply.

The small contribution to housing provision was outweighed by the harm caused by the use as a permanent residence of a building in the open countryside remote from services and facilities, contrary to sustainable development principles

Framework references: 80, 8

Plan policies cited: Policy SP1, Policy SP2, Policy SP8, Policy SP4, Policy SP19
