Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not it is still necessary to continue to limit the occupancy of the dwelling to an agricultural worker

What decided it

The marketing exercise covered the whole property as a single lot rather than the dwelling alone, and there remained evidenced demand for agricultural worker dwellings, so it was not shown that the occupancy restriction was unnecessary.

the medical needs of residents were given some weight but did not outweigh the harm from removing the agricultural occupancy restriction

What the Inspector cited
