Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed conditions meet the tests set out in paragraph 56 of the NPPF, having regard to the vitality and viability of the Nags Head Town Centre; the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, and promotion of sustainable modes of transport
What decided it
The disputed conditions failed to meet the necessity, reasonableness and precision tests in NPPF paragraph 56, and the Inspector's site observations of a vibrant, healthy market and town centre did not support the Council's concerns about harm from the proposed changes.
