Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site represents an appropriate location for a dwelling having regard to the NPA's development plan policies and spatial strategy including whether there is a functional and essential need for a permanent dwelling to accommodate a rural worker.

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate an essential functional need for a rural worker to permanently reside at the appeal site.

No material considerations of sufficient weight were found to outweigh the conflict with the development plan as a whole, so the balance tipped against allowing the appeal.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy SP3Policy C3
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 182

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
