Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of varying condition 3 on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The pattern and nature of holiday let occupation would not necessarily generate more noise and disturbance than permanent family occupation, and the rural campsite location, adequate parking, and management measures in place mean the development would not adversely affect neighbouring residents' living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GP5 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review 2006)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 57
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
