Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition restricting occupancy of the bungalow as an agricultural or forestry worker's dwelling is necessary and reasonable
What decided it
The condition has outlived its original planning purpose because the appeal site can no longer support a viable agricultural business and marketing demonstrated no local demand for an agricultural worker's dwelling.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HC13 of the Derbyshire Dales Local Plan (2017)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
