Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition restricting use to holiday lets is necessary and reasonable having regard to the provision of tourist accommodation
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate through adequate marketing that there is no current or future demand for the holiday let, combined with the unsustainable location of the appeal site and the conflict with Policy SCLP6.6 on protection of tourist accommodation, meant the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.
The adverse impacts of loss of tourist accommodation and unsustainable location significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling and economic growth, applying the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11d)ii)
Framework references: 11
