Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Condition should be discharged without being substituted for another condition and whether planning permission should be granted for the dwelling without complying with the Condition, with particular regard to the Council's locational strategy for dwellings.
What decided it
The site-specific wording of the occupancy Condition was found unreasonably narrow, but a substituted generic rural worker occupancy condition would achieve the same planning aims while according with the development plan.
Discharging the Condition outright without any substitute would conflict with the development plan, but substituting a generic rural worker occupancy condition made the dwelling acceptable and compliant with the development plan, tipping the balance in favour of allowing both appeals.
