Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition 5 is reasonable and necessary having regard to (a) whether it has been sufficiently demonstrated that the appeal property is no longer viable as a holiday let unit; and (b) whether the appeal site is a sustainable location for permanent residential occupation
- Whether the requirement of condition 6 for the removal of the building in the event that it is no longer used as holiday accommodation is reasonable and necessary
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that the holiday let use was unviable, and the site is not a sustainable location for permanent residential occupation, therefore condition 5 restricting use to holiday purposes remains justified and necessary.
