Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition 3 meets the tests for planning conditions as set out in the Framework and the Guidance, having regard to railway safety
What decided it
Condition 3 fails to meet the tests for planning conditions in the Framework and Guidance because it requires works on land not controlled by the appellant, is imprecise as to what mitigation is required, and unreasonably imposes mitigation for cumulative effects beyond those solely attributable to the appeal development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy C1Policy DRF-E
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 56Paragraph 110
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
