Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the planning obligation still serves a useful purpose and whether that would continue to be the case once modified in the manner proposed, with specific regard to the Council's strategy for the location of new development and the retention of tourist uses
What decided it
The modification would convert the holiday let to an open market dwelling, substantially harming the Council's development strategy and rural economy, which outweighs the limited housing benefit even in an undersupply situation.
The adverse impacts of modifying the planning obligation, including harm to the Council's settlement strategy and the district's tourism offer, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling unit in an undersupply situation.
