Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The absence of a duly executed planning obligation securing construction of the pedestrian bridge in the terms originally agreed, since the submitted Unilateral Undertakings were not an appropriate mechanism to vary the earlier Section 106 agreement.
