Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed conditions, and the alternative conditions proposed by the appellant, meet the tests in paragraph 56 of the NPPF, having regard to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, the character of the wider area and the provision of community uses within the borough
What decided it
The restriction to doctor's surgery use was necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms because the original permission was justified by demonstrated need for primary care facilities, and the appellant provided no evidence that this need has changed or that the facility can no longer serve the community.
