Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal falls within the scope of an application made under s73 of the Act
  • whether the disputed condition is necessary having regard to the policies of the development plan, with particular regard to existing tourism accommodation and the spatial strategy
  • whether the disputed condition is enforceable

What decided it

The removal of the condition would result in the loss of protected tourism accommodation and would permit permanent residential use in an unsustainable location outside the settlement boundary, conflicting with Policies WLP8.17 and WLP1.2 of the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy WLP8.17, Policy WLP1.2
