Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether section 73 of the Act allows the development permitted under the original permission subject to an amended condition 3 that refers to leisure and education purposes
What decided it
The proposed amendment to condition 3 to include leisure and educational uses would introduce uses not referenced in the operative part of the original permission and would constitute a substantial change in the nature of development, which section 73 does not permit.
