Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed conditions 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28 are necessary, relevant, enforceable, precise and reasonable in light of the nature and scope of the permitted scheme
What decided it
The development involved only minor extensions with minimal intensification of use, so conditions imposing restrictions on the use itself and extensive operational controls were not necessary, relevant, or reasonable in light of the narrow scope of the permitted scheme.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- LP47
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 56
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
