Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
- whether or not the development complies with the Authority's policy to achieve a balanced and resilient housing market with a high proportion of properties in permanent occupation
What decided it
The material change of use causes unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance, and conflicts with development plan policies protecting permanent housing stock and local community needs.
The benefits of tourism and holiday accommodation use were outweighed by the material harm to neighbouring living conditions and the loss of permanent housing stock in conflict with local plan policies for housing provision and community resilience.
