- Authority
- West Devon Borough Council

- Procedure

- residential · Change of use
- Inspector
- Gethin T
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed use as a holiday let would be in a suitable location, with particular regard to development plan policies in relation to need and accessibility
- whether the proposed use as an annex would be acceptable with regard to the development plan
What decided it
The proposed holiday let would not be in a suitable location as occupiers would be highly reliant on private vehicles rather than sustainable transport modes, and the proposed annex would not be functionally linked to or dependent on the principal dwelling as required by policy.
