Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition 33 is reasonable and necessary having regard to local policies and the National Planning Policy Framework and whether an amended version would equally serve the desired purpose
What decided it
The amended condition proposed by the appellant would not prevent occupation by permanent households or ensure the frequent turnover of occupiers necessary for the site to function as a genuine tourist facility, and would therefore conflict with the development plan policies that permit the use only as a recreational and tourism facility.
