Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the site is in a suitable location for a residential mobile home having regard to local and national planning policy
What decided it
The site is located in the countryside in an unsustainable location accessed by a long gravel track without proximate services, and the keeping of a horse for recreational purposes does not provide justification for residential occupation or evidence of an operational need for a rural worker to reside there.
Plan policies cited: Policy MTRA3, Policy MTRA4, Policy DM11, Policy CP15, Policy CP16
