Representation Summary:

Support CGB3: Must be suitable and genuinely affordable to workers

Full text:

If a permanent home is given planning permission, it must be suitable and AFFORDABLE for an agricultural worker (rather than just the landowner). (There have been cases where a business was profitable, a house built, the business run down, the agricultural restrictions lifted because no agricultural worker could afford it, the agricultural buildings converted to further homes.)
