Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the acceptability of the removal of the condition having regard to the location of the appeal site, the bricks-and-mortar nature of the dwelling, and the operation of the adjacent gypsy traveller site

What decided it

The occupancy restriction was found to be unreasonable and no longer served any functional purpose, and its removal would not result in loss of a gypsy traveller pitch, such that the adverse impacts of the proposal did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits under the tilted balance.

the adverse impacts of conflict with settlement boundary policies, given limited weight, did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of removing an unreasonable occupancy restriction that no longer serves a functional purpose
