Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not Conditions 9, 11 and 12 can be removed and replaced with the suggested condition restricting occupancy to over 55s, having regard to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and other material considerations, including the Finney judgement

What decided it

The proposed change would alter the operative description of development from holiday lodges to housing for over-55s, which is beyond what can lawfully be achieved under section 73 following the Finney judgment.

Judgments cited: John Leslie Finney v Welsh Ministers, Carmarthenshire County Council, Energiekontor (UK) Limited [2019] EWCA Civ 1868
