Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the condition requiring a green/brown roof meets the six tests for the use of conditions contained in the Framework and Planning Practice Guidance

What decided it

The condition requiring a green/brown roof would negatively impact the proper implementation of the planning permission because the approved plans specified gravel roofs and the appellant indicated it was not feasible to include a green/brown roof due to budget restrictions, thereby failing to satisfy all six condition tests.

Framework references: 56

Plan policies cited: Policy LP46, Policy LP53, Policy LP55
