Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether there is an essential need for a rural worker to live permanently at or near their place of work, with particular reference to whether there is a need for a second dwelling at Green Lane Farm
What decided it
A suitable and available alternative dwelling (rented in nearby Wetwang) was found capable of meeting the essential functional need, so an on-site second dwelling was not justified.
Conflict with Policy S4 and paragraph 84 of the Framework was not outweighed by other material considerations, so the appeal was determined in accordance with the development plan and dismissed.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy S4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 84
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.
