The NPPF does not require a 'sequential' test for the re-use of rural buildings for residential use. Para 55 states the new isolated homes in the countryside should be avoided unless there are special circumstances such as; "where the development would re-use redundant or disused buildings and lead to an enhancement to the immediate setting" ... There is no requirement for the applicant to demonstrate viabllity or first make every attempt to secure alternative uses.
There is no special justification for Rother District Council to adopt a local planning policy that has much more stringent conversion requirements than the NPPF.

There is no requirement for the applicant to demonstrate that employment or tourism uses are not viable or first make every attempt to secure such alternative use. Nor is there any requirement to provide or contribute to affordable housing in order to secure permission for residential re-use.
