Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether Condition 2 is reasonable and necessary having regard to the character of the area, the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, highway safety and nutrient neutrality
What decided it
The requirement that the cabin remain within the same planning unit as the main dwelling was not reasonable or necessary as subdivision would require separate planning permission in its own right.
What the Inspector cited
- 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.
