Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the condition restricting the use to holiday let is reasonable and necessary with regard to the location of the site within the countryside and the provision of tourist accommodation

What decided it

The condition restricting occupancy to holiday let purposes is not necessary or reasonable because a dwelling is already permitted at this location and its unrestricted occupation would not harm the rural character and undeveloped nature of the countryside or conflict with the development strategy.
