Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether there is adequate planning justification for varying condition No 3 of planning permission DC/21/1560/FUL in terms of ensuring that it effectively controls the use of the units as holiday let accommodation

What decided it

The proposed variation of condition No.3 would facilitate long periods of use by the same occupier(s) amounting to permanent residential use rather than genuine holiday letting, contrary to the economic, sustainability and tourism requirements of the development plan policies.
