Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether condition 5 is reasonable and necessary, having regard to the local development strategy and the need for a rural worker dwelling at the appeal site

What decided it

The commercial boarding kennels use had been abandoned, rendering the occupancy condition no longer reasonable or necessary and therefore failing to meet the requisite tests for planning conditions.

Plan policies cited: Policy 7 of the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010-2030, Policy 5 of the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010-2030, Policy H2 of the St Ives Area Neighbourhood Development Plan 2015-2030

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.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
