Why it was refused

  1. The removal of the holiday let occupancy restriction would result in the creation of an unrestricted permanent dwelling in an isolated countryside location, outside any defined built- up area boundary and remote from services, facilities and public transport. The development does not comprise an allocated housing site, fails to meet any of the exceptions for isolated homes in the countryside, and is not essential to a countryside location. The proposal would represent an unsustainable form of development contrary to Policies 2, 3 and 26 of the Horsham District Planning Framework, Policy HD1 of the Shipley Neighbourhood Plan, and Policies CC2, TR3 and HO11 of the National Planning Policy Framework. There are no material considerations which would outweigh this identified harm.
