Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the material change of use of the dwellinghouse to short-term holiday letting accommodation constitutes a breach of planning control
- Whether the loss of the permanent residential dwelling is acceptable in policy terms
- The effect of the use as short-term letting accommodation on the living conditions of occupiers of surrounding residential properties, specifically from noise disturbance, light pollution and general inconvenience
What decided it
The material change of use resulted in significant adverse impacts on neighbouring residents' living conditions through noise disturbance, parking inconvenience and general disruption, and was contrary to the development plan policies which are weighted in favour of retaining permanent residential dwellings to meet local housing need.
Plan policies cited: Policy 15, Policy 18, Policy 06
