Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of providing a new dwelling outside a designated settlement limit, including the loss of holiday accommodation
What decided it
The proposed development conflicts with the development plan policies requiring sustainable location and justification for removal of occupancy conditions, and the appellant's personal circumstances carry insufficient weight to outweigh this harm.
The appellant's personal circumstances and health issues were given limited weight, which was insufficient to outweigh the harm arising from the loss of holiday accommodation and the creation of a new dwelling in an unsustainable location outside the settlement limit; the harm significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.
