Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether it is reasonable and necessary for condition 2 of application Ref 02/79/01982 to be retained, having regard to relevant local and national planning policies.
What decided it
The proposal failed to satisfy the requirements of Policy HP7 section 7 (points a and b) because the essential need for the dwelling could still arise and no reasonable marketing attempts had been made, and removal of the condition would harm the open, rural character of the countryside.
The appellant's personal circumstances were given limited weight and did not outweigh the harm to the open, rural character of the countryside that would result from removing the occupancy condition.
