Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition restricting occupation of the dwelling to agricultural or forestry workers is necessary and reasonable having regard to the location of the appeal site
What decided it
The removal of the occupancy condition would result in an unrestricted dwelling in a rural location contrary to the development plan's requirement that countryside dwellings must have a functional need for that location, and the lack of evidence demonstrating a local need for an unrestricted dwelling.
