Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether Condition 5 is necessary or reasonable having particular regard to the aims of Winterton-on-Sea Neighbourhood Plan in respect of the housing mix of the settlement
What decided it
The existence of a fallback position allowing the appellant to revert to the original permission without occupancy restrictions, which would require only minor building work and represents a material consideration outweighing the conflict with WNP Policy HO4.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HO4 of Winterton-on-Sea Neighbourhood Plan
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.
