Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development is in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the settlement strategy for the District

What decided it

The material consideration that the existing holiday let use could imminently cease, combined with the effectively equal reliance on private vehicle travel between the proposed dwelling and the existing holiday let, outweighed the limited policy conflict regarding settlement strategy and sustainability of location.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy SP4Policy SP1(d)Policy INF7(b)Policy ENV2Policy SD2

Paragraph 84Paragraph 108Paragraph 114Paragraph 56
