Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the use of the annexe as short-term holiday letting accommodation constitutes a breach of planning control
  • Whether the annexe is suitable for use as a dwelling and could contribute to the supply of housing in the area and assist in meeting local housing need

What decided it

The Local Plan policy approach, as expressed in Policy 18, prioritises the provision of housing to meet local needs over the reuse of suitable buildings for short-term holiday letting, and this policy balance outweighs the tourism and economic benefits of the current use.
