Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the existing condition is necessary and reasonable, having regard in particular to the nature of the use of the outbuilding and its effect on the character of the area and neighbours' living conditions
What decided it
The lack of any substantive evidence of harm arising from ancillary residential use of the outbuilding, combined with the fact that creation of a separate dwelling would require planning permission regardless of the condition, meant the condition failed the Framework test of necessity.
