Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the condition restricting use to holiday accommodation only is reasonable and necessary having regard to the Council's settlement strategy
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply triggered the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11(d), and the small but meaningful contribution to housing supply outweighed the conflict with the settlement strategy.
The conflict with the settlement strategy was outweighed by the significant weight given to the small but meaningful contribution towards housing supply in the context of a demonstrated shortfall, with no adverse impacts identified that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh this benefit when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
