- Inspector

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for a dwelling, having regard to the proximity of services
- Whether the appeal dwelling provides acceptable living conditions for existing and future occupants, with regard to noise and disturbance and the provision of private amenity space
What decided it
The dwelling is not essential to the needs of the business as a night-watchman does not require residential accommodation, and the site's isolated location outside settlements makes it unsuitable for residential use under development plan policies and the Framework.
Framework references: 80
