Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether condition 3 is necessary, relevant and reasonable to protect the living condition of occupiers of neighbouring residential properties

What decided it

The original condition 3 restricting use to Class E(g)(iii) was not necessary, relevant or reasonable because all Class E(g) uses are inherently compatible with residential areas, making the further sub-class limitation unjustified.
