Why it was refused
- This S73 application proposes the variation of wording of condition 4: occupancy restriction of 2 essential rural workers dwellings of permission ref: 25/02105/FUL. If allowed, the change would open up occupation of the dwellings to unspecified other rural businesses without limiting occupation linked to the identified applicant known as Brightwalton Stud Ltd. In accordance with Policy DM23 and DM37, a genuine need must be suitably demonstrated linked to a specific business. As this proposal seeks to reduce the limitation of the occupation of the dwellings to Brightwalton Stud Ltd, the proposal is considered contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework and Policies DM23 and DM37 of the West Berkshire Local Plan Review 2023 to 2041.
From the council's decision notice.
