Change of use of land for homeless accommodation/facilities (to make temporary consent 2019/1107/COU permanent) (Part retrospective - septic tank)

Authority: Selby District Council *
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: community-institutional · Change of use
Inspector: Wilkinson F

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the disputed conditions 3 and 4 are reasonable and necessary to protect the health and wellbeing of future occupiers
whether the temporary time period is reasonable and necessary given the nature of the accommodation

What decided it

The accommodation is of a temporary nature unsuitable for long-term residential use, making the disputed conditions necessary to protect occupiers' health and wellbeing and justify the temporary permission period.

The benefits of the facility in providing temporary accommodation for homeless persons were outweighed by the need to protect the health and wellbeing of occupiers through enforceable conditions limiting stay duration and occupancy to those statutorily defined as homeless, and to maintain the temporary nature of the permission to allow the Council to reconsider ongoing appropriateness.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy ENV1 of the Selby District Local Plan, adopted 2005
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 92
