Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue is whether the residential units should be restricted, such that they can be occupied only as a principal residence.
What decided it
The Inspector's finding that removing the principal residence condition would conflict with Neighbourhood Plan Policy H3 and cause harm that significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited additional benefits of unrestricted occupation, whereas retaining the condition allowed the benefits of the wider scheme to outweigh the harm.
the adverse impacts of granting permission without the principal residence condition would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, but with the condition imposed the benefits of the scheme outweigh the harm
