Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the variation of condition 3 is justified having regard to local and national planning policy on the location and provision of new housing within the countryside
What decided it
The demonstration of essential need for a rural worker to live on site, based on animal welfare benefits, security requirements, and the established equestrian enterprise, combined with the variation being less restrictive rather than removing the occupancy condition entirely, justified the variation under both the Framework and local policy.
