Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary, having regard to the effect of its removal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The replacement dwelling is of similar scale to the original house which was not subject to permitted development restrictions, and the GPDO's own limitations ensure any permitted development would be domestic in scale and in keeping with the house, so the condition fails the test of reasonableness and necessity.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GROWTH 2Policy HOU 8Policy ENV 1Policy ENV 2
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.
