The land is located outside the development
boundary on an established holiday park where, given its economic
contribution to the area, development for holiday purposes and
acnillary to that has been supported.
In terms of of the permanent occupation of the units, the site is
outside the development boundary for Woolacombe within the
countryside and within a protected landscape where the local plan
policies (emerging and existing) and the NPPF strictly control new
residential uses that to which is required for a rural worker close
to their place of work or where conversions are involved where it
improves the immediate setting or conseves a heritage asset.
Neither would apply in this case, given it is an existing holiday
chalet. the accommodation is not required for a rural worker with
demonstrable functional requirement to live at the site and no
conversion works have taken place. In addition, the use as a
permanent residential unit would have economic implications in
removing tourist spend from potential holiday occupancy.
As such the occupation of the unit as a permanent residential unit
would be contrary to policies HSG9, ECN9, ECN12 and ENV1 of the
NDLP, emerging policies DM18 and DM28 of the NDTLP and the
requirements of paragraph 55 of the NPPF.
