Why it was refused
- The proposed amendment under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act seeks to vary Condition 15 to remove the 'February Restriction' on the approved holiday lodges. The imposed restriction is however deemed reasonable and necessary, in accordance with the six tests as set out in the NPPF. It provides a clear and robust approach that provides the necessary limitations as to when the holiday lodges can be occupied to ensure compliance with Policy LP13 of the JLP and the reason the condition was imposed. The condition meets the six tests set out in the NPPF. The application has failed to demonstrate that the condition, as currently written, is not fit for purpose. SUMMARY OF POLICIES WHICH ARE RELEVANT TO THE DECISION: SP03 - The sustainable location of new development SP07 - Tourism SP09 - Enhancement and Management of the Environment SP10 - Climate Change LP12 - Tourism and Leisure LP13 - Countryside Tourist Accommodation LP15 - Environmental Protection and Conservation LP16 - Biodiversity & Geodiversity LP17 - Landscape LP18 - Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty LP24 - Design and Residential Amenity LP27 - Flood risk and vulnerability LP29 - Safe, Sustainable and Active Transport NPPF - National Planning Policy Framework PPG- Planning Practice Guidance
