Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition limiting occupation of the dwelling is reasonable and necessary to meet the specific needs of agriculture
What decided it
The condition limiting occupation to agricultural or forestry workers would be unlikely to make a meaningful contribution to agricultural or forestry enterprises in the locality, and therefore fails to meet the tests for conditions in NPPF paragraph 56.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM26
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 56
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.
