Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether adherence with Condition 6 is necessary having regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Petts Wood Conservation Area
What decided it
The rear of the property is not visible from any public vantage point and does not contribute to the conservation area's significance, so restricting permitted development rights to the rear cannot be justified as necessary to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area.
Plan policies cited: Policy BE1 of the UDP, Policy 37 of the Bromley Local Plan (2019), Policy 41 of the Bromley Local Plan (2019)
