Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the conditions are reasonable, necessary and precise, having regard to the character and appearance of the host property and area, highway safety, land safeguarded for a major transport scheme and the policies of the development plan

What decided it

The conditions restricting permitted development rights were not justified by reference to character and appearance, highway safety, or protection of safeguarded land, as the site's screening, position, and the nature of permitted development would prevent unacceptable impacts.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: CS10CS12DM20DM24DM28DM32DM38
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 54

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.
