Inspector: Sylvester G

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether, having regard to national planning policy that seeks to avoid isolated new homes in the countryside, there is an essential need for a rural worker to live permanently at or near their place of work, with particular regard to whether there is a need for a second dwelling at Sweet Briar Farm (SBF)

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate an essential need for a second rural worker to live permanently at Sweet Briar Farm, as the existing dwelling and alarm systems were found adequate to meet the farm's operational needs.

The conflict with the development plan was not outweighed by any material considerations, including the provisions of the Framework, so the appeal was determined in accordance with the development plan.

Framework references: 84

Plan policies cited: Policy RD2, Policy CS1, Policy CS2, Policy CS3, Policy CS8
