Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the use of the appeal site as holiday-let accommodation on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- Whether the use of the appeal site as holiday-let accommodation has resulted in the unjustified loss of community facilities
What decided it
The unauthorised use creates unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through noise and disturbance at unsociable hours due to the absence of on-site management controls that existed under the former lawful use, and results in unjustified loss of community facilities.
