Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the disputed conditions 3 and 4 are reasonable and necessary to protect the health and wellbeing of future occupiers
- whether the temporary time period is reasonable and necessary given the nature of the accommodation
What decided it
The accommodation is of a temporary nature unsuitable for long-term residential use, making the disputed conditions necessary to protect occupiers' health and wellbeing and justify the temporary permission period.
The benefits of the facility in providing temporary accommodation for homeless persons were outweighed by the need to protect the health and wellbeing of occupiers through enforceable conditions limiting stay duration and occupancy to those statutorily defined as homeless, and to maintain the temporary nature of the permission to allow the Council to reconsider ongoing appropriateness.
