Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the change of use of the property to a short-term holiday let would result in the unacceptable loss of residential accommodation falling within the C3 use class

What decided it

The proposed short-term holiday let use is not imperceptibly different from permanent residential accommodation and would result in an unacceptable loss of C3 residential accommodation contrary to Policy DM2, which cannot be outweighed by support for tourism in the development plan.
