Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether it is possible under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to alter the use of the six units of disabled holiday accommodation lodges by removing the disputed condition in the way proposed
- Whether the appeal scheme would be in a suitable location with regards to Local and National Planning Policy
- Whether the appeal scheme makes an adequate contribution to affordable housing
What decided it
The proposal's location outside the settlement boundary combined with poor highway safety and pedestrian access, requiring heavy reliance on private motor vehicles and conflicting with development plan policies on location and sustainable transport.
Plan policies cited: Policy 3, Policy 7, Policy 8, Policy 9, Policy 12, Policy 27, Policy 28
