Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The conditions failed to meet the tests in NPPF paragraph 56 as they were not necessary or reasonable, being unsupported by substantive evidence of harm to highway safety, crime, or amenity, and the Council had already accepted the proposed use as acceptable by granting the permissions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- IN9IN10P7
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 56
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.
