Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the original condition still fulfils a planning purpose having regard to development plan policies that seek to strictly control development in the open countryside
What decided it
The condition restricts development in the open countryside in accordance with the development plan's sustainable development strategy, and lifting it would conflict with policies SWDP1, SWDP2 and SWDP4.
The adverse impacts of allowing permanent occupation of a dwelling in the open countryside contrary to the development plan's settlement hierarchy and sustainability strategy significantly and demonstrably outweighed any benefits, even assuming the Council could not demonstrate a five-year housing supply.

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
