The control measure in para b7 would need to be strictly applied ie if a house is built to serve a supposed need, then if this need does not exist later (i.e. if the house is placed on the open market) then it should be removed. Our fear is that the enforcement officer would not be able to enforce this against a determined developer.

We object to this policy since it is overly restrictive. It places tight controls on rural development, which conflicts with paragraph 55 of the NPPF.
Paragraph 55 supports new dwellings for rural workers where there is an essential need "to live permanently at or near their place of work in the countryside". The additional restrictions are clearly in conflict with this and are taken from Annex A of PPS7 (revoked by the NPPF).
This inherent conflict with national policy frustrates the delivery of sustainable development and as such fails the NPPF paragraph 182 tests of soundness.
