Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the condition can be removed/varied as requested, having regard to the Act and other material considerations, including the Finney Judgment

What decided it

The removal or variation of condition 1 to increase the number of caravans from 3 to 6 would conflict with the operative part of the original planning permission (the description of the development), placing it beyond the powers available under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy BE2 of the West Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011
Judgments: John Leslie Finney v Welsh Ministers, Carmarthenshire County Council, Energiekontor (UK) Limited [2019] EWCA Civ 1868
