Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the use of the building for short term letting accommodation is acceptable, having regard to local housing policy
What decided it
The building is suitable for providing local needs housing by virtue of its location, size and configuration within the rural service centre of Staveley, and was previously meeting local housing need as a flat with a local occupancy condition, therefore its use for short-term holiday letting is contrary to Policies 02, 15 and 18 of the Lake District National Park Local Plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy 02, Policy 15, Policy 18
