Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The conditions were unreasonable and unnecessary because the unheated maintenance building could not practically achieve the required BREEAM Very Good standard, and there was no evidence the development would have been refused without the condition.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CC2Policy H5
