Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition is reasonable and necessary, with particular regard to local and national planning policies for housing in the countryside and any essential needs of the business known as the Crooked Inn
What decided it
The occupancy condition is reasonable and necessary because there is a continuing essential need for a manager to reside on-site for the efficient operation of the Crooked Inn, and the appellants failed to demonstrate through robust marketing that this need no longer exists.
The essential business need for on-site manager accommodation outweighed the appellants' arguments for removal of the occupancy condition, as the marketing evidence was insufficient to demonstrate the condition was no longer necessary.
