Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is a suitable location for residential development

What decided it

An essential need for a rural worker to live permanently at or near their place of work has not been demonstrated; security concerns alone cannot justify a dwelling under policy LP 20, and the businesses have operated successfully for many years without on-site accommodation.
