1. The wording of most conditions has been not to sell or otherwise dispose of; the renting of a property is to otherwise dispose of as it prevents the owner having exclusive possession. The only justificastion for local need is exclusive possession or at least exclusive possession subject to say renting a room to help with the mortgage. The site farming industry is in full swing and Dick’s guidelines faciltated it greatly.

If they are taking on a farm that is different and in any event they could apply under the agricultural worker provisions of the development plan should that be the case.
