Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the planning obligation continues to serve a useful and necessary planning purpose having regard to whether the location is appropriate for a new dwelling in the context of national and local policy

What decided it

The Barn already effectively functions as a self-contained market dwelling with no functional dependence on the main house, and is not isolated under paragraph 80 of the NPPF, therefore the planning obligation no longer serves a useful purpose.
