Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether condition number 8 restricting the period of occupation of the holiday accommodation is necessary having regard to supporting the tourism industry and preventing permanent occupation of the units

What decided it

Condition number 7 provides sufficient safeguards through explicit prohibition of permanent residential use and an enforceable register mechanism, making the occupancy duration restriction in condition number 8 unnecessary.
