Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the conditions are necessary, relevant and reasonable having regard to on-street parking provision and the impact on air quality
What decided it
The conditions failed the test of necessity as there was insufficient evidence that the change of use of offices to one dwelling would cause unacceptable transport and highway impacts, and air quality is not a matter subject to prior approval under Class O of the Order.
