Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether Conditions 6 and 7 are reasonable and necessary to protect the landscape and scenic beauty of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)

What decided it

Planning permissions run with the land and conditions restricting use to a particular person are only justified in exceptional circumstances, which were not demonstrated, and the effects on the AONB would be identical regardless of the operator.
