Gracedieu, Rowington, Warwick, CV35 7DB
Planning appeal 3342613 at Gracedieu, Rowington, Warwick, CV35 7DB (Warwick District Council) was dismissed on 24 October 2024 by Inspector Bowden N, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary to limit occupancy of the dwelling to an agricultural or forestry workers dwelling having regard to: (a) whether the proposal would accord with current development plan policy relating to limited infilling in villages and be acceptable in principle as a new dwelling; (b) the need for an agricultural or forestry workers dwelling in relation to farming operations at the farm holding; and (c) if there is no requirement for the dwelling in relation to operations at the farm holding, whether the dwelling could meet the needs of another such worker.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary to limit occupancy of the dwelling to an agricultural or forestry workers dwelling having regard to: (a) whether the proposal would accord with current development plan policy relating to limited infilling in villages and be acceptable in principle as a new dwelling; (b) the need for an agricultural or forestry workers dwelling in relation to farming operations at the farm holding; and (c) if there is no requirement for the dwelling in relation to operations at the farm holding, whether the dwelling could meet the needs of another such worker
What decided it
The absence of a marketing exercise or alternative assessment to demonstrate that no agricultural or forestry worker in the locality would occupy the dwelling means the demand for the property with the occupancy restriction remains untested, and removal of the condition would conflict with Green Belt and rural workers housing policies.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DS18H1H11H12
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 142Paragraph 152Paragraph 154Paragraph 56
