Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the disputed conditions are necessary in the interests of the character and appearance of the area and highway safety, relevant to the development to be permitted and reasonable in all other respects

What decided it

The variation of condition 4 to allow 4 dwellings was justified because there was insufficient evidence that 2 dwellings was the maximum that could be accommodated without harm to character and appearance, and the additional residential traffic from 4 rather than 2 dwellings would not compromise highway safety given the mitigation of passing places.
