Habitation Clause under the terms of the Planning Consent, the occupation of the dwelling shall be limited to a person solely or

mainly employed or last employed locally in agriculture as defined in Section 290 (1) of the Town & Country Planning Act 1971, or

a dependant of such a person residing within, or a widow or widower of such a person.

REASON: The reason is in a rural area where it is the policy of the Local Planning Authority not to permit residential

development except in the interests of agricultural or related to the use of the land. The circumstances of this

There were additional conditions in the original Consent.

above exiting use (as an agricultural building). This uplift payment will not be triggered by a change of use of the agricultural

building to any commercial use and only relates to change of use to residential.

residential use and a copy of the reply from the Local Planning Authority (South Holland District Council) is available upon request.
