Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether condition 6 is reasonable and necessary in the interests of safeguarding the living conditions of neighbours

What decided it

The absence of convincing evidence that local residents would experience anti-social behaviour or increased crime as a consequence of the proposal, combined with the availability of on-site education facilities and physical separation from nearby properties, rendered condition 6 unreasonable and unnecessary.
