Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue is whether or not the Disputed Condition is reasonable and necessary including having regard to needs for agricultural and essential workers' accommodation.
What decided it
The demonstrated lack of demand for the dwelling from eligible agricultural, forestry or golf-club occupiers despite comprehensive marketing meant the occupancy condition no longer served a useful purpose and was unreasonable to retain.
the unreasonableness and unnecessary nature of the occupancy condition outweighed the resulting conflict with the LDP's spatial strategy for tied dwellings in the countryside
