Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not there is an essential functional need for a rural workers dwelling on The Estate
  • whether or not there is alternative accommodation to fulfil the need, if found
  • the economic viability of the 'rural business'
  • the ability to tie the occupation of the proposed dwelling to the functional need, if found

What decided it

The proposal failed to demonstrate that no alternative accommodation existed on the Estate, that the shoot was economically viable, and that occupation could be reliably tied to the functional need, causing conflict with Policy WE9.
