Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition meets the six tests for planning conditions (necessity, relevance to planning and development, enforceability, precision and reasonableness), having regard to the suitability of the development in terms of flood risk, the location of holiday accommodation and the effect on protected ecological sites
What decided it
The development as shown on the amended plans does not propose additional holiday accommodation units beyond the three originally approved, and therefore does not conflict with the development plan in respect of flood risk, tourism policy or ecological mitigation requirements.
