Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP46Policy LP53Policy LP55
