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.
