Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the retention of the condition is necessary and reasonable
What decided it
The condition is not necessary because operational changes mean permanent on-site staff residence is no longer required, making the dwelling likely to become vacant if the condition is retained, and removing it would not result in greater journeys or harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SP7Policy E2Policy C5
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.
