Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition 14 is reasonable and necessary having particular regard to relevant local and national planning policy which governs the location of housing
What decided it
The appeal site is located in open countryside in an unsustainable location that does not accord with Policies STP1, TRA1, HOU7 and HOU8 of the Northumberland Local Plan, and the holiday use restriction remains reasonable and necessary to prevent permanent residential use contrary to established planning policy.
Plan policies cited: Policy STP1, Policy TRA1, Policy HOU7, Policy HOU8, Policies E10 and E12 from the Castle Morpeth District Local Plan
