Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the condition restricting the appeal building to use as holiday accommodation only is reasonable and necessary, having regard to planning policies in respect of the location and accessibility of new residential development

What decided it

The appeal site's location outside the settlement boundary with relatively poor access to everyday services required by permanent residents, combined with the development plan's clear differentiation between holiday accommodation (supported in countryside locations under Policy SP15) and permanent residential development (restricted to sustainable locations under Policies SP1, SP3 and SP4), made the condition reasonable and necessary.

Plan policies cited: Policy SP1, Policy SP3, Policy SP4, Policy SP8, Policy SP15

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
